I dunno, I can't see that scaling too well if one of them goes on holidays
or whatever.
What I was thinking was that the users with logins would have to be pretty

Anyway how many newbies would need this kind of access, that they'd be
willing to pay for it over a common-or-garden web hosting setup?
