Skipping the question of whether we should aim high-end or low-end, I would like to ask for a steer-poll on whether (and/or how) we should submit a recommendation (whatever becomes the consensus, here -- possibly even multiple choice) to the main list along with a couple of paragraphs of justification/rationale.
I conducted a steer-poll once, and the only response I got was "Mooooo..." ;)
I think your suggestion is very wise. We should carefully consider and describe what benefits we're getting and why we're recommending the purchase.
One further thing to consider might be what our extra server capacity could be used for. No matter what we buy, it's going to be more than necessary to run our single copy of Plone and the mailing lists. So is there anything we could do that would benefit the community (either ours locally or OSS in general), given a bunch of CPU and storage and the ability to virtualize?
