i just wish i had a more stable colo provider. however, my server has been
relocated to their new facility which is supposed to be quite an upgrade; i
need to get over there to take a look at it (the old colo facility had occasional
(about once per year) power outages of depressing duration. things were
particularly distressing during the grand northeastern US power failure earlier
this year, but there's not much that can be done about a disaster of that
scale.)

i think that based on the comments i've heard, changing servers is
complex enough that it should probably be planned carefully, to minimize
disruption, and to insure that the resulting situation is really an improvement.
i'd suggest that 1) a mahogany domain be acquired, 2) an ISP independent
web site be setup, with links back to the sourceforge.net servers for the list
and cvs facilities that are currently being used.
actual migration of the lists and cvs services are something that can be done
at a later date should it be judged to be needed, or left there if it is felt that
it doesn't need to be done.
in general, i would only favor signficant changes if they increase flexibility
stability. just moving the stuff from one server to another doesn't necessarily
accomplish that goal.
