I fully agree that someone *must* be assigned to the task, otherwise it's better keeping current hosting. Perhaps that was implicit, but I can take this responsibility so long as I can be replaced if required for any reason. On this regard, I agree that the Foundation funding / owning / securing the server infrastructure is a much better long term strategy. This said, I also agree that it is a better idea to keep the domain and website content independently owned and managed, for the reasons stated by Gregory Maxwell. If there isn't a good consensus on one of the two options I suggested, I vote we don't lose more time on this question and keep focus with bigger priorities. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sponsored by Intel(R) XDK Develop, test and display web and hybrid apps with a single code base.
