i am sad because i am the sysadmin for 2 servers with 1 xeon processor each i used them but they have in general 0.01 load. and i think that there are other people who can spare a part of their servers... i think you should consider choosing this option (there will be no problems with buying, hosting and managing the servers), and with the money from the fund raising the e17 developers could arrange a meeting and get a pretty holiday and talk about future E plans. in this days an entry level has an excelent performance and there are many server who just don't do nothing because the do the job of a pentium 2 processor. let's try to use them. best regards adi > Unless someone else wants to collect the money for the server and deal with > refunding in the eventuality that plans change, we may want to look at > something like fundable.org, at least until we are closer to our goal.
