Thanks, I am still working on getting the details worked out. I think I've
got the basics down but I'm having some difficulty scaling things up. At
this point it looks like the bottleneck is with the database on my
prelude-manager / postgresql box. If I end up getting that figured out, this
may turn into a "how to scale prelude / postgres for high alert volumes"
guide as well. I'm mainly documenting things so that my eventual succesor
can hopefully keep things running after I am gone, because this has turned
out to be a fairly complicated setup but I am confident that the end result
will be worth the effort.

Do you have a "development" area of the wiki where "work in progress" pages
could be edited without making them generally available yet?
