I was under the impression that the domain has always been owned by the
Orion organization. They just pointed it at whoever was willing to
maintain the community site.
I have a suggestion. Lets take a slice of a Wiki system, say the
Portland Pattern Repository at http://www.c2.com. I think the Wiki
nature will lend itself well to a community group like this. It will
also act as a FAQ-O-MATIC.
The natural starting point is:
