It is our 'DreamHost PS' service that is based on Linux-Vserver... http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting-vps.html It would make sense that the Linux-Vserver project would be hosted on a vserver, and we would more than happy to donate that service. We have actually already provided some financial support to the Linux- Vserver project in the past, and we will definitely continue to do so! Every company of any size has limited financial resources and I like to see our money going to projects that will most benefit from it. All that said, linux-vserver.org already has hosting somewhere. Is the current hosting limiting the improvement of the current website? > *) @Herbert - give me an ssh/ftp account on the donated hosting site. > I would suggest that you pick a "new" domain name while signing up > with DH - > It is included in the package and the existing ones can be moved/ > redirected later > > *) @Me - I will do the CMS install and initial configuration - > We start with whatever I have in "my" tarball/sqldump and tweak > features from there; > I expect this to be done in the "open" using the CMS forums, task > lists, and > the existing members contributing to this thread as the "reviewing > public". > > *) @Community - Join in with your comments, suggestions, posts, > whatever - - > This will be your new central home - give us feedback while we have > our hands > on the tuning buttons. ;) > > *) @Community - I have not personally used the "foreign wiki" or > "mailing list" > import functions - I may need some advice and/or editing help. > > *) @Herbert - when we feel it is "as ready as it will get" you can > decide if it > should be moved to /dev/null or put into use. > > *) @Me - I expect it will take me another couple of weeks to get my > own setup > working to my satisfaction - (I am running it internally now) - I > think I > can be ready to clone the setup as soon as that is done. > > Mike If we all agree that the website would be much improved by switching to TikiWiki (I am only familiar with Mediawiki myself), this sounds like a pretty low-impact approach.
