As I said a long time ago on here, last time this was abandoned, I
would be more than willing to host the site on my servers for free for
as long as I'm in business. I run orbwireless.net so it don't see why
it shouldn't last 10 years or more. It could also have a subdomain of
my shaferlabs.org site so there would be a fallback if someone stopped
paying for the ktechlab domain name, something like
ktechlab.shaferlabs.org. I can also do the web development. I may also
be able to keep the domain name going, after all, it's only 6.85/month
from ipower...
Some info
I run Gentoo and Ubuntu linux on my servers.
I have a rack of 9 supermicro servers with plenty of disk space
I have good web connectivity (six 3Mb DSL lines with Cisco modems, load
balanced)
So you can see I'm not a fly-by-night here today, gone tomorrow company.
Please let me know if I can be of assistance. This would be my long
term gift to the OS community and I would love to do it.
Sincerely
Lawrence Shafer

please Julian
could you say the amount money it costs to keep the project's web
online (and other non free aspects) for a year (hosting & domain
name and more) ?
I would agree to donate a little for that.

Julian, I could afford a hosting if you wish. I'm not with time right
now (also with some
projects but I think this project should live and that it has a big
future).

I could help translating the wiki to spanish with José Luis Galvez Lopez
help (he offered
to do that too). I could also encourage other users to start using it.
The first step is to move
them to a linux distribution. This can be a tough point, mostly due to
ignorance rather than
something else Many of them think that linux is only for hackers, or
for gurus,
I'm trying to change that with some mini-tutorials on using Kubuntu or
another KDE based
linux distribution.

Lucas and Julian, fell free to contact me in private if you wish.
