We need to be clear on the IP issues. <nitpicking> 1. A Domain Name != Website. 2. Site-entry is in the name of ILUG-Cal 3. I'm simply the admin contact :) </nitpicking> To answer the questions at hand: 1. ILUG-Cal.org site and mailing lists have been hosted by Russell McOrmand since mid-1999. The servers are based in Canada. Russell has never charged us a dime, nor does he intend to as long as we remain there. Which means we don't pay for the server space or the b/w we use, Russell does. 2. Its a shared server, so in the event of requirement of custom services and software to be installed on the server this may not be possible (have to ask Russell) 3. IMHO, a project like wiki-map ***will*** need custom software to be installed on the server. In that case, we need a dedicated co-located server. Few hosting service providers will allow for additional software and dependencies to be installed on a shared server for security issues. 4. A decent dedicated co-lo server with decent bandwidth will cost anywhere between USD 150 - 200 (and upwards) per month 5. We will also need cvs and/or subversion SCM systems to manage the development. No average commercial web-hosting provider will generally provide this. 6. Option that emerge is clear -> sourceforge.net for the heavy-lifting required. 7. If we purchase a domain name, hosting the pages (not software and downloads) can possibly be hosted on the same server as ILUG-CAL.ORG, which will forward the user to the downloads and cvs segments. 8. I did not understand the question about being clear w.r.t ownership and IP. AFAIK, all the content (except comments) on www.ilug-cal.org is copyleft ILUG-Cal. What exactly do you want me to clarify? cheers, -indra -- Indranil Das Gupta Chief Technology Architect L2C2 Technologies -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [ Innovations that make a Difference ] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone : (0)-98300-20971 WWW : http://www.l2c2.org -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
