Great advice. I started a nonprofit a six years ago and we had big plans to build a volunteer tracking app and collaborative tool in a hip new framework like Django. Six years later, and we are building a very un-hip tool in Drupal that will ultimately replace three tools we've adopted in the interim (a spreadsheet for tracking hours, a Trac-based wiki, and Google groups). But, this time, after approximately a false start once a year, we finally have traction for the project. To those who are concerned this stifles innovation and "thinking inside the box" -- unless you are lucky, a genius, or probably both, knowing one's problem space intimately is a lot more likely to yield a useful innovation than not.
