Hello,
First: I've not yet been socially active on here I believe. Guess it
should be time to say "Hi" :)
If there's a place where I should shortly introduce myself, let me know.
Now reading this.. Isn't it better to get the current hosting-related
issues sorted out? I believe taking the hosting away from Canonical is a
bad step. Find out who's in charge, if we *really* are restricted to the
current platform as-is, etc.
Lubuntu/Xubuntu/Kubuntu all have decent websites and are all on the same
platform. It shouldn't be impossible for us to have a proper website. If
we are taking it away however, I am guessing having a proper VM/VPS
somewhere is best.
If it helps, on my private dedicated server I can setup an account with
full FTP/SQL/etc access for the Ubuntu Gnome project to develop the new
website on. Do we have DNS control of the domain?
I'll even provide a VM with separate IP for the project if needed, on my
server (for whatever purpose we need it, including hosting the website
if we are going that route). I have enough resources (mem/disk)
available and I rely on that server myself as well, so rest assured that
it's being taken care of properly :)
Greets,
Jasper

1. What are the "conflicting" Canonical limitations in current server
2. What are the proposals to overcome those limitations in new server
It's 22:55 here and I'm heading to bed. So, I'll make it as short as
possible.
With the current server, I can't even change the theme nor update the
platform (WordPress) nor can install any plug-in ... only Canonical
people can do that AFAIK. So to change the website (design wise), I'm
not even sure what's involved? who is in charge? etc ...
With a new server, we shall have 100% freedom over our website. We can
do whatever we like such us updating the website itself, updating the
platform (wordpress), install/remove plug-ins and more ..
We're many people around and if each one donates 1-2USD, that would be
great ..
It's our project, if we don't take care of it, who would?!
