The InfoCentral project has change dramatically.  You'll want to visit 
www.churchdb.org to get the spin-off (one of 'em, anyway), as 
InfoCentral is no longer actively developed as a PHP project.  It will 
be going the Java/J2EE route, and that hasn't even started yet.  I think 
you can still get support for IC in the forums though.

That said, congratulations are defintely in order.  May I follow your 
progress?

Blessings,
Don
