 Consultations [Administration/Logistics]

Sala, I believe that this is your first "work" message as co-coordinator to
the list, again congratulations! And thank you for making the clear
proposal/summary.

Just to explain a little more. Until now, Jeremy has kindly extended his
work
after stepping down from the co-coordinator around the web management.
He also worked very hard to streamline the web site management and
improved it vastly as we all know.

In order to further strengthen and stabilize our web operation, he suggested
that we consider the merging of the web and mailing list servers, and also
move it to a stable, commercial hosting. He will kindly offer his service
for the transition work, too.

So, we, co-coordinators discussed about this, and concluded that it's time
to start migration, with proper fund-raising. I believe $150 is also annual
cost for the server, thus $500 for 3 years. Jeremy, correct me if I am
wrong.

For the fund, we welcome both small payment as well as big (?) money.
I mean if you could pledge say $50 per person, that will be highly
appreciated.

We may not take the vote, but rough consensus on this list
should be sufficient for the action.

But we like to listen to you all first.

Thank you.
