I really like your product, and I also like Trello, but unfortunately our corporate policy is to avoid hosting data on third party servers so I can't use either. These products would make a great tool for my small team.

This is not a suggestion just a comment/wish, I'd like to see some app like yours offer the ability to store/retrieve data from a web service that we can provide to you but written to your specification, not sure if something like that is possible, but it would be preferable to a packaged application my small team cannot afford. I haven't seen a SaaS app take this approach, but it is interesting to think how it might work. UI as a Service?

Really interesting idea. With Backbone.js and RESTful APIs (which ThetaBoard is using), it wouldn't be too difficult to implement on the UI side. The hardpart would be getting organizations like yours to build their own public api exposing their business data.
