OK, so I just spent about 45 minutes on the phone talking to Michael.
He's really enthusiastic about the whole thing, and has also had quite
a bit of interest in the job.  He's going to wait for a few more CVs,
then talk to the top candidates, and then he'd like me to talk to them
as well.  (Dom should probably be involved in those conversations too,
or even do it on his own if he prefers; I think Michael picked me to
talk to because I was the one that answered his emails, not for any
other reason.)

I think the main issues for his project are going to be user
authentication, handling spam, custom metadata, custom queries, and
custom design.  Regarding the latter, I sent him the link to the CSS
zen garden and explained that this is the sort of thing I'm aiming for
in OpenGuides' HTML.  Basically, I think OpenGuides can be made to do
what he wants without too much convolution, it just needs someone with
the time to work on it.  Like, someone being paid to do so :)

Yay!
