You gloss over a few parameters in your discussion, especially about which back-end database, and whether you intend to stay open source on this.
True - largely because I don't care :-) I'm more interested in whether it does what I need than whether it's MySQL, postgreSQL, Oracle or whatever. My only other preference is that it be free or cheap, but I'm not averse to paying a reasonable amount (reasonable, that is, for a single-user licence - not a developer licence).
