I'm also about start a non-profit project where I want to use an OPF. I 
did make a list from libraries present in http://SourceForge.net/ So far 
I have managed to review only Gentle.Net (Which didn't satisfy me)

So, could You please share You findings about OPF-s? You might make my 
life much easier :)

Also, I'm willing to share my findings about the ones You didn't evaluate...


And to any other in list: Could You plase share You knowledge about 
diffrent free OPF-s.

If I do not find one that satisfies me, I'm thinking to roll my own 
one... Or, if there is one to be satisfying, I would gladly join the team.

P.S. Note to the list adnministrator: Is there any reasons why the 
reply-to address is not set to the list? I usually want to reply to the 
list... And it is tedious to do recipient clean-up every time I make 
"Reply All"
