Or you can just ask me :-)
I'm trying to get DSL installed at home, and this is taking a while. I'm
sure the other Brits on the list will sympathise with me (or they'll just be
frustrated that they aren't even in a DSL capable area). I've had many
offers to host axkit.org, and I may take someone up on that, but I also have
a number of other sites (*.sergeant.org, take23.org, axkit.com) that I need
to host, and all with AxKit, so I doubt someone would be willing to bend to
my whims on those sites (especially home.sergeant.org which was my online
photo album :-) So ultimately, I need home hosting with a static IP.
As far as apache.org goes, they require signed wavers from everyone who has
ever contributed to the codebase (luckily only 5 people) faxed back the the
ASF. As I'm sure you can figure out - this is hard. Especially since they
screwed up the waver form and haven't gotten back to me yet about that. And
add to that the fact that I haven't even got my computer set up in my new
house, so I don't have the addresses of those 5 people to hand...
Anyway, I finished redecorating my office now, so I can move stuff in there
and get my computer setup. I will hopefully be able to setup 56K dialup net
access (ugh!) so that I can get emails out to these people and get
everything together and migrated to apache.org.
Oh, and I also don't exactly know how the Apache thing will work - since
they don't run AxKit I'm not sure how I'm going to get all my stuff up on
their site. Maybe just use apache.org as a proxy. Not sure yet.
Matt.
