When I was doing the PUG, it was about 10 hours per month of my time, plus
several hours per month for a half dozen or so other volunteers.
Of course, I didn't have the brains to automate the system, so all the

I don't know how much time investment per month it is now.

One area where I find flash invaluable is moving macro subjects. It would be virtually
impossible to take a picture of a honeybee on a flower with sufficient depth of field

Perhaps www.smugmug.com should be given consideration as a home for
pug. There are several advantages.
Storage is unlimited at all subscription levels.
Bandwidth allowances are as follows:
2 gigabytes per month at the standard $29.95 per year level.
4 gigabytes
I'd be willing to kick in towards the total cost as well. 2 gigs of
bandwidth sounds a bit low to me, though - hopefully someone at Komkon (is
