[Wolves] open source applicaiton in SME

[Philip Moore]

Hi

Having just completed a degree I appreciate the work you are having to do - I 
would ceratinly assist but regretably I am not yet employed.  

Let me wish you the best of luck in your research - I have a colleague who is 
considering postgraduate research into e-banking at Warwick University.
