I think we should set up a small "default" public database here at NRC which auto-configures during Genquire setup. Matt has just finished writing a Genquire installer program (!! yay Matt!!), so installation should be much MUCH easier within a couple of weeks - I want to finish testing it in on both Linux and Windows before we start mass-distribution. So far it looks good!! I think it is best if the installation auto-configured a connection to the default 'test' database so that at a minimum new users can "see something" when they first startup Genquire... Opinions?
