Thanks for the reply.  I'm not ready to work on development of kforge at this 
point because I don't even know anything about it yet.  I just wanted to play 
around with it and see if I liked it.  But, I don't want to have to setup 
(yet another) database for that.  I'm already annoyed enough that I had to 
run mysql and learn a few basics of that in order to play with a number of 
other web-related apps.

If nobody else tries it, and if I get really bored, I will give it a try - but 
honestly I'd rather find out if I like it before investing a lot of time into 
it.
