KnowledgeForge has reached capacity.

There are a number of things we can do about that:

1. We could increase capacity (by improving the hardware platform).

2. We could begin to purge all the non-projects that were created 
through the demo.knowledgeforge.net site. It would be relatively easy to 
detect projects with no services, services with no content, etc. There 
are a lot of rotting projects, and some of the projects have Tracs which 
are getting a lot of spam.

3. We could introduce moderation of project registrations, approving 
only projects which contribute to the open knowledge community.

In the meantime, we could ask Mariana what her project is about and 
whether she thinks it contributes to the open knowledge community. If 
so, I'm sure we would be very happy to grant Mariana sufficient access 
rights to create projects. Rufus?
