Oh.  Presumably LA would need basic CiviCRM admin skills for it to be
useful at all.  If they don't have them now CiviCRM training is cheap
as you point out.

Assuming LA is prepared to pay the $15/mo instead of using volunteers,
is this now fulfilled?  There is still the issue of replacing MemberDB
voting of course, but presumably you could use both for a year or so. 
It's just a web site so the results would be visible to the membership.
 That would eliminate most of the speculative arguments occurring now.
