Hi !
Steve, thanks for all the great work you did with the site, and for taking
care of it for so long :) I hope you'll stay subscribed to the mailing
list and stay in touch, like I have, even if I'm been inactive on GGI
for a long time, besides running cvs, etc. :)

If somebody gives me a "drop in place" script (php, perl, whatever) and
associated pages that do it, I can set it up on degas ..

The website is hosted on a server that probably still has better connectivity
than sourceforge, namely metalab. Unless we need more dynamic services,
I don't think we need to move :)

Well; I currenly run the CVS, DNS and email services for GGI off our servers
at suntech, where they have been for the past two years now.
I don't mind hosting them at all; the bandwidth consumption is fine, and it
doesn't take too much admin time. I believe I fix problems when I'm told,
besides a few DNS things that lagged for a while during a period when I was
REALLY busy, but aren't we all.
This said, if you think it is better/more efficient for the project, to run
them somewhere else, like sourceforge which has excellent connectivity indeed,
I will step down, and of course do all the necessary transfers.
Voila :)
