If I start now with Moderator, how safe is that bet ?

[mpjjonker]

Google Moderator seems like a good fit for some new requirements, but
I am hesitant to bet on this.
What are future plans for Moderator, is there an alternative ?

This forum seems a bit quiet and real life samples are a bit scare (I
foudn the white house sample :-)

I would be lucky to have so many cases, but for Google it seems a bit
slow...
