I see there are many many answers already, and I haven't read any of them yet. Will do so now.
But, I'll answer your queries in order:
1) No. I don't want to be PUGmeister. I don't know enough about 'puters, and in fact don't even own one (I use my roomates). I do hope that someone offers to take over from you, because you've done a terrific job for a long time, and you deserve a break.
2) pdml-pug.net works for me.
3) I would think that with a list this size, we should fairly quickly build up a war chest that would keep us running for a couple of years. I wouldn't want to say that everyone who wants to post should contribute some money before being allowed to do so, but it's a temptation. I would think that from voluntary donations, we should be able to get us moving in the right direction. I'd donate like $20US - what's that, around 10 Euros? All we'd need is 25 more people (shouldn't be a problem), and we're going for a year already.
4) Again, I have enough of a problem operating a camera. I have no expertise whatsoever in computers. Barely more than basic knowledge, if that. Sorry, but I can't offer any assistance that would be meaningful.
cheers, frank

Hi list,
it seems that the komkon server will not come back. I didn't hear from Igor for quite a time now and I think we have to think about a new home for the PUG.
Jostein and I are already in the process of defining a "new PUG". Before we go any further in this process which includes reserving a domain and buying webspace I have some questions to the list:
1: Does anybody else want to take over the resposibility for the PUG. It
means: does anyone else wants to be the new PUGmeister?
I am now PUGmeister for over two years. The former PUGmeisters changed after
18 monts so it might be that somebody else desperatly wants to take over.
;-) Volontiers should apply to Jostein and me directly please.
2: The new domain name: I checked "pdml-pug.net" that's still free. "pug.net" isn't. If you want another name, please check whether it is still free before you tell the list.
3: If Jostein and I are going to handle PUG in the future we insist on a
"proper" provider. We don't want to have the hassle with changing the domain
to another provider every other day. So the webspace will not come cheap. We
think about 250 Euro per year. That's the upper end, there might be a
cheaper one saw one today but have to investigate..., but we need a
considerable amout of space that's the expensive part. And we want a
provider with regular backups etc. - a professional setup.
4: Jostein and I discussed a databased setup, where autopug and PUG are hold
together. How this will be accomplished is not very clear yet. I will setup
a prototype and start testing in the near future if I stay PUGmeister. If
somebody else will help with this task, please write Jostein and me offlist.
I think these are enough questions to start the ball rolling.
Cheers Jostein and Adelheid
