Hi Chris, Mark,<br>
<br>
I agree with what Chris said.<br>
<br>
I will not be on the online meeting but...<br>
<br>
Mark: there are many technologies to do what I think that you described.<br>
And some off the shelf (I'm not familiar with the off the shelf<br>
solutions for the problem that you described).<br>
<br>
A way to implement it: using Django web framework. But do have a look<br>
and see how you feel best!<br>
(Django has an admin panel and might get you part there... or might not,<br>
depends many things!)<br>
