Any CSA with capital resources?

About 2,000 CSAs in the U.S. About half, maybe, have web sites. Most do not have interactivity-- many have probably paid a chunk of money on this.

Do most CSAs have work shares? That's a coordination problem for farmers, dealing with these

Me: a distribution versus a site?

A CSA profile is fine with me -- you can deploy as many as you want.

Visitor hooks

hook_form_alter, hook_nodeapi, hook_user
Passive observer, Visitor
