Hello,
Since we just changed our whole iem-site to CMS zope/plone (http://plone.org), we also have to migrate the pd.iem.at.
So I can offer on our sever not only enough space (gigabytes) but also a
pd/plone/zope system (eg.http://plone.org/) with personalized login (free
join), user home space and multimdia publishing system. We have the server on
the university-net in austria which is a 300~MBit connection.
The good thing plone can offer a delegation of trees inside the site (we can install a poll system ?-) . Everyone can bring up a thread-tree in his folder or gets owner rights on otherfolders. So collaboration can be handeld dynamicly and a lot of documentstypes are supported.
the bad thing ;-)) is someone has to put information in it and do a basic review on content to be published (since we dont want non-pd related stuff on it). Some adminstration task could be done by our institute admins but content beyond central pd info/services and iem-product info should be handeld by someone else.
- The have it as a central site the need is that poeple help on the content. -
also a cvs-server will be set up, since sourceforge is sometimes slow and we need to force people on our intstitute to make their development in cvs (or subversion) in future as an addition do pd.sourceforgenet
Time: start in 2 weeks -> recruting, debugging -> mid june stable.

PS: The long term goal:
- We are working on a pd-plugin on important browsers (ready in autumn) and pd
as an audio- and 3D-renderer on multichannels streams based on a database over the net (see http://iaem.net/, http://iaem.net/iaem/doc/Papers/aes03.pdf ) should be established. So pd.iem.at could be driven also by pd as an audio- streaming server with access from the site.
i'm going to be presumptuous and speak up for my brother (hans-christoph) since he is super busy with the end of his school term
right now and might not reply immediately, but i'm sure he'd be very into transfering the pure-data.sf.net site to pure-data.org since he wanted to make it a main hub for pd. if there was an open archetechture
i'd be willing to help out with maintanence as well.

hi developers! what do you all think about trying to establish a site (if possible based on a existing one like the pd.sf.net or pd.iem.at) with more than just one person maintaining it, to make it a successful homebase
for the whole pd project. i think jfm3's page was a good try but maybe
just too much for one person to make it grow as it should. so: who can/want's to put some effort on that, or merge an existing pd-site with pure-data.org ?
i could try to get a webspace or dns-service on a sponsoring-base at
the provider i work for.

I am not very good at maintaining pure-data.org, and I don't think
it's
as useful as it might be. I would like to start a new web site with
a
broader focus. If someone would like, I will happily hand over the pure-data.org domain name. I think it's paid up for a few more
years.
Drop me an email if you are interested.
