This then goes back to the hosting question. Our original offer was
co-hosting on the server which also hosts OHM (and ChaloBEST). This is
apparently undesirable to the community.

We could provide a dedicated box, but that was not my intent in restarting
this thread, which goes back years. My aim was to remove the obstacle if
hosting and storage are issues.

Also hosting at HBCSE/TIFR (where I work and where Johnson made a start on
this) is not reliable, as sys-admins there are few and overburdened, and
servi es are unreliable.

At this point only a small number of active OSM India enthusiasts would be
using this service. Can we use a VM for now? If we're asking for a
dedicated box I'll have to approach Tim and Schuyler in Topomancy to see if
they agree.

Can't Mapbox India underwrite this small expense for the India community?
Mikel, any thoughts?
