[server-admins] Firebird Server pegging

[Troy A. Griffitts]

I'd prefer not to take the conversation to sword-devel. Now that I am done with my project for the INTF, my hope is to utilize the frameworks I've built for projects at CrossWire. This includes running a liferay installation which is a fully compliant JSR-168 and 286 portlet container as well as an OpenSocial container. I'm sure we could find a forum portlet or use the one that ships with liferay. You can see it their forums in action on their own site if you'd like to evaluate:
