Well we have funds to the tune of $470 to pay for the domain name. It's a no-brainer to me that we should pay our own expenses first before giving the money away, also for the next few years. We should also re-imburse Ross from the available funds for the years he has paid out of his own pocket. I further propose that we 1) Shift the domain registration to domains4less.co.nz, where it costs $23 instead of the $32.15 at discountdomains. 2) Find new web hosting space, which tends to be very easy. Chris H, thank you! Most of the traffic will probably be from search engines... I think it would be useful to keep a website of 1 page, detailing what we are (not, haha), what we do, and pointing to the mailing list. Bonus for adding a second page of history. It's totally pointless to assemble any knowledge at that site because all that is already elsewhere and there's probably no-one to maintain it. > to consult with the senior members(Greybeards) of the CLUG if they wish > to continue with both the domain and the web site. Well, not much beard, but I am now the longest subscribed member, only a few months short since the list started in about mid-1995. I could be persuaded to provide text for a history page... Volker PS There's at least 1 link to clug.net.nz, which doesn't exist any more and has been registered by a USA company. -- Volker Kuhlmann http://volker.top.geek.nz/ Please do not CC list postings to me. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
