Once the place is set up make more noise about it. People who want their stuff syndicated do find the places that syndicate. > Most of these should be achievable in a couple of weeks, I think. Get your feet back on the ground. Buying (as in transferring money) servers is fast. Apparently assembling them to the spec and mailing them is not as fast. Once the hardware is there, we need some engineer/sysadmin time for the setup (no people do not sit on a bench just waiting, their time needs to be reserved). Hardware needs to be taken to OSU/OSL, set up starting from an empty rack and then we get to the software part. Starting from the OS, the services need to be set-up in a secure and nice way, so that we do not need to go through the same kind of migrations you saw on maemo.org once a year. MeeGo.com will be big, it needs to be planned to take that load. Optimal case is two weeks from the time the mailman drops the hardware. And that would be a case where no-one has anything else to do, which we know is not true.
