I have been following the progress of OFLB for quite a while. In July 
2010 I proposed using Drupal and have delayed doing so since there was 
traction to use Aiki. However, we're seven months later and we still 
have the same site, but with more errors and problems.

This evening at the Maryland Drupal meetup I run, I will be proposing 
that the group picks up the project as pro-bono work. In addition, my 
company (Lithic Media) will be providing 70 hours of development time to 
facilitate initial build out and to act as a catalyst for other 
developers who are interested.

We will also decide whether to base the site on Drupal 6 (which OFLB has 
a dev environment for already) or scrap that and go with Drupal 7 which 
has more issues but significant performance improvements and better 
utilities for file processing.

Ace! Would be good to see the outcome.

File processing is a key part of OFLB so that sounds sensible. In any case (6 or 7) there is software written by
Ed Trager that can be used to pull out all the salient information about uploaded font files that can be
pulled in with very straightforward PHP. One key file handling task is to reject fonts with incompatible
licences immediately and alert the user: Ed's code tells you everything you need to know to do that.
