Hosting ------- Shane McChesney made a generous offer to pay for a virtual server from tummy.com for two years. Shane, does this offer still stand? If so, I think we should go ahead with it. I'd be happy to configure the server and set up access for those who will need it.
No, you were too slow. :) Just kidding... you know, my wife doesn't find me funny either.
I'll sign things up with Tummy this weekend and send you the details -- unless I see any vociferous objections on this list in the next 12 hours or so.
One thing I should have mentioned when I made the offer is that Tummy would appreciate a small "Hosted by Tummy" image and link if that's okay with you.
I don't need any sponsored by Wesearch links or anything, unless having a sponsors page would help the project look widely supported... I'm sure I or my staff will be posting plenty of questions to the list later this year, the usual community help will be reward enough.
I have no problem with as many icons or whatever as people want to put up. It can get a little out of hand when some random site has a "powered by..." icon, and the readers are unlikely to have any idea what they are talking about. But this is a software site, so it actually does mean something. So don't feel shy about having an icon or link up there.
In fact, I think sponsorships are actually good for the site -- it shows it's supported by variety of people and organizations, which is what makes a project viable.
I'll request Debian over Red Hat, if that is in fact still an option with Tummy's VMs... and unless someone objects here.
Domain
------
I would be happy to register a domain for the project for at least 2 years.
Unfortunately, it appears the squatter currently holding webware.org decided to renew it for another year. *sigh*
Here are some domains which are available: webware-project.org webware-python.org webware-toolkit.org
Any thoughts?
What about webware4python.org? It's also available in .com, .net, .ca, .info, .biz, .us ...
Whatever the name, take solace that a Google search for webware returns the current project page as the first hit, so people will find the new page easily enough via the old one.
I just though, oh, maybe webware.info... but no. Domain squatters are so damned annoying! None of webware.com, .net, .org, .ca, .us, .biz, or .info resolve to anything, but they are all taken. Bastards! Sigh.
