As it looks like, it seems that a lot of the documentation and website are hosted on the university server. I have some dreamhost space if anyone wants to scrape up the 10 a year for domain name. They have a media wiki I can quickly setup there. Not sure if I can setup web2py, but I still think it would be useful to have a webpage that means something more to the project. Web2Py.org sounds obvious to me. :D Having a domain, to me, is a big step closer to a unified and more obvious place for documentation. Regards, Jason Brower
