I spend more money on pizza each year than the cost to register a domain which is $25-35. :D Domains are cheap, 2-3 large pizzas with 3 toppings, that's like $2-3/month, maybe like 15-30 minutes of work (after taxes). I could always shell out the money upfront and we put some "Donate money via PayPal" link onsite (or just send a URL to the list), and remove it if/when the requisite funds are reached, or leave the funds in the PayPal account for use on future costs. The only other cost of operation would be hosting, but the point is probably moot as we're staying put at SF I think. But if we all chip in, say 5 of us, it's only $7 each per year. Hopefully not breaking anyone's bank. FYI I'm not currently employed either and still don't consider $25-35 / year anything to fuss over.
