As you are probably aware, CSuite Software offers numerous features that will assist with your objectives and enhance the learning experiences of your users. It is purpose built to enable communities like yours to work together in establishing an on-line electronic communications presence, while enabling, through training and support, large numbers of individual and organisational users. To accomplish this, expect that: * installation time, not including hardware and configuration information preparation time, for a complete RedHat Linux and CSuite Software to be around 3 hours; this will vary, of course, with the processor speed. We will support installation free of charge - please see below. * ongoing maintenace will depend, as is the case with almost all new software, on the CSuite Administrators's abilty, computer knowledge, including UNIX knowledge. We will support the first 30 days post-installation free of charge - please see below. Once the 1.0 version is available - anticipated very soon - we will be offering free installation and 30 days free post-installation support via email only for qualified sites. Also available, will be CSuite Administrator training and ongoing support for reasonable - yet to be determined - fees. Please feel free to contact me should you have further questions. > Feel free to make any other suggestions of comments too. > > > Rob Switzer > Project Manager > Nelson Communities Connect -- David Murdoch
