We just had a Plone user group meeting at the University of Washington
with Bob Morgan, who has dealt with these issues on Internet2 projects.
My notes from the meeting are at:
http://docs.cac.washington.edu/uwplone/uw-plone-user-group/meeting-notes/meeting-notes-november-29-2007/(I can add pertinent notes to the wiki posting as well)
Although now looking at your email here, it seems maybe the Plone
Foundation and contributor agreement may not be adequate for us? It would
probably be a lot of work to create our own foundation.
I'll also send on Bob's preliminary email before our meeting, where he
covers some issues that people stumble on.
