OpenNP Sourceforge project

OpenNP is a start-up Sourceforge project to develop a complete Suite of the web based applications needed to run the "business" of a non-profit organization. It anticipates using existing opensource applications, modified or augmented as necessary, to create collection of Modules comprising the OpenNP applications.

We're especially interested in determining:

* Is the Sourceforge venue appropriate for this
this type of effort?
* Is this project a duplication of existing efforts?
* if there is developer interest in in this project?
* Any comments, pro or con on the concept.

The forum for open discussion of this project:

Any comments or directions appreciated.

This is an interesting idea. Have you actually started envisioning what platform this software would be built on? I noticed the page you set up on sourceforge says the project will rely on PHP. Do you plan on customizing one of the many PHP-based office suites or financial programs already available? Or would it just be easier for you to start from scratch?
