There are two questions:

Do you have any thoughts on how long it might take to get these questions answered and sorted out, and are you willing/able to take the lead on that? (I am happy to do the prodding Andy part, to get the Template package updated - I will email him the moment someone agrees to take charge of the other issue.)
Some of us were hoping to talk about the Oxford Guide at the next-but-one Oxford Geek Night (in July), but if the guide can't be upgraded before then, there's not much point in us going and telling people about all of OpenGuides' new shiny features...
I think I asked in a previous email whether it would be possible for the Debian packages to also look for separately-installed CPAN modules, i.e. to have the OSGB module installed in a user directory, and have the Oxford Guide CGIs include that directory in their 'use lib' - was that question overlooked, or is it impossible? (I don't know enough about how Debian works to tell whether this is a ridiculous question.)
Alternatively, I wonder if there is any scope for temporary re-hosting until urchin can be upgraded? Can anyone offer this?[0]
Kake [0] I don't want to ask bob to do this since I don't really want all the active OpenGuides living on the same machine.
