I'm fairly sure the farm system and the wildlife system will be fairly 
disparate applications* - however there are element in common that can 
be used in both - namely the security/access system - I presume some 
kind of login will be required for both.

I don't know what kind of experience people who want to get involved 
have and these things should probably discussed on separate threads. 
I've only just moved down and am still up in the air at the moment but I 
can intermittently give advice.
As I said in an earlier mail I would write either as  web applications 
using Mono/ASP.NET and probably mysql as a db ( though written 
generically so people can use any Relational DB easily). The application 
can then run over the web or be run on the local machine using a web 
browser to talk to your own server.
If your still with me on this one then I might put up a few ideas on a 
web site?
