Steven, I've already paid money to get an account to an ISP for exactly this type of setup. At that time I was talking to other cocoon developers about setting up such a site to showcase Cocoon. Unfortunately, none of us had sufficient spare energy to pull this out and to start working on it. At the moment it hosts only the Weblogs of myself and Jeff Turner, and Berin's and us email accounts, but it will soon host the Anteater Web site as well.
The vision of this is to have a loosely coupled group of developers, which have similar interests and work on similar projects, to share the same resources. Long term, I'd like us to become a center of expertise for other companies to hire us, either individually or as a group, to provide support and custom enhancements to these projects. I'm offering this site to host the Cocoon web site you're talking about, as it shares the same vision I had when I started it. We have 1Gb of hard-disk space available and 10Gb of transfer monthly, which should be plenty for the time being. Unfortunately we have only 1 shell account available, but I think we can increase that to three accounts with little additional cost, which can then be shared among us. I already have a CVS repository setup for multiple developers, we can create mailing lists and setup a Cocoon hosting environment for Cocoon apps. Please let me know if this is something which might interest you.

I'm dead-serious about this. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
