I've been provided a tarball of the machine the resources were on, not an actual VM image. My focus is on doing what I offered, which is getting the Wiki and accompanying database onto a new host. I know nothing of managing a mail list, so if someone wants to tackle getting that portion up and running a new host, now's a good time to raise your hand. > Pete V from Green Dragon Hosting has also offered to donate some space on > a box.

When the LUG get's incorporated, options are going to open up across the board.

Should Google+ become a viable medium, then all the better! I like the idea.
