Finally catching up on my email, now that finals are done. So here are some of my thoughts on this thread:
- I also can provide DNS and free webspace for this site. It would be
hosted on a Debian-I386 box and I could setup whatever software we decided on.
- I am definitely willing to do a lot of setup work this summer, and
some of the maintanance for the for the forseeable future. But it should be set up in a way that we can have numerous maintainers.
- I was already planning on making two sections to the existing site:
"downloads" and "getting help"
- I like the blog aspect of the current site and I think it could
develop into an important resource. I also think that web forums would be very useful, especially if they could be linked with the pd-list.
- Of all of the offers on the table, I think that the IEM one is the
best. We get the fat pipe, plenty of disk space, and some maintanance.
- I am more partial to PHP since I already know it a bit and it seems
to be a wider standard. But if the concensus is Python or whatever, I am willing to learn. Plone looks promising.
- I think what we should do now before commiting to a new model for the
site is throw out examples of sites out there that we think we should emulate.
- To all the people proposing various software, an simple example of
that software would be most enlightening.
OK, gotta run, I'll post later on the "website tools" thread.
