I'm all for this idea. Orionsupport is a community support effort run on a
volunteer basis and I believe that it is hosted on Joseph's development
machine using Orion. :) : ) :) I'd be willing to help shoulder some of the
costs in moving everything over to an ISP host.
There's no need for a new domain, imho... orionsupport has been very open
and supportive (no pun intended). I say that we just give those good folks
a nice place to put everything without tying up their resources.
Community support for Orion has been excellent. The thing I'm worried about
is how the Orion developers are doing... is there anything we can do to help
out the guys at orionserver/ironflare?
