Hi Adam,

I'll find some time to figure out how to set up a toy system, ideally with:
- LDAP
- IMAP+SMTP (probably Dovecot and Postfix)
- XMPP (probably Prosody)

Once that works, to get that to work for our communication we'll just need
to set up some A, MX and PTR records on the domain to point to whatever
server we pick to host these services. I could do the initial hosting until
a permanent home is found for these services.

XMPP server can serve for both IM communication and to host a chatroom.
Some sort of realtime communication system that we can agree upon and which
does not depend on proprietary commercial providers is, I think, essential;
today I had an unpleasant experience that the messages sent from my XMPP
server to a Google Talk user went straight to /dev/null, courtesy of the
new "our Hangouts architecture is not based on XMPP" policy.

Also, if we just use the email addresses as 'vanity aliases', then IMAP is
probably not even required; but, it's not troublesome either.

When it comes to the website, I'll try preparing some static HTML homepage
stuff. I've been thinking of throwing something together with Twitter
Bootstrap just so it looks "fancier" and "more approachable". If I come up
with anything, I'll poke again.
