You can't pick dates out of the air without having any idea what is involved or how much labor force you have in place. Even then this sounds like something a sales guy or product manager would set and then try to hold a development team to. This type of deadlines are what get crappy code released. > Currently SME Server and Contribs.org are (technically) build and run by a > very select few.

I doubt you will get anything cheaper then you are currently getting it. Granted you could get a setup for close to what is currently being charged but you wouldn't have anywhere near the facilities to host anything close to what contribs.org is currently offering to you. -Shad
