John I am just a lurker generally, but I think Ales has done a good job those times when I grabbed the next 'generation' of this stuff, it seems to have a minimum of the PIMA content most such projects seem to have an abundance of, with SF being the most prominent in my limited experience as I have repo write access there on one of the legacy computer OS projects it loves to forget my pw on a random basis. If Ales all vote to setup the NP thing, even if it still runs on Ales's servers and a few bucks a month is needed to compensate Ales (or whoever might succeed should something happen, then I am sure my card could get $20/year lighter for as long as I'm around. Just set it up and post the donate site URL here. However, since I'm both 75 and diabetic, I have no warranty of being here tomorrow, but today I'm good.

As I posted before, competitive pricing for no-root packages dropped significantly in recent years. My domains with scripting, 10 GB traffic/ month, 2 GB Webspace, mailman preinstalled cost me 1.49 EUR/month. That is about 2.00 USD/month at current exchange rate.
