Yes, this is a live issue, that will be dealt with right after the
scheduling and the INL Council replacements are.  It will be done
by the Server Hack (ERic Mehlhaff).

I've been out of town without net access since the 21st, but it's
time to start hammering some of this stuff out.  I like the idea of
coaches, really.
