good. the server runs on a shared server I have with friends at hetzner.de, one of the best hoster in germany. the server resource is not the big deal - I have no time to maintain/improve the system and think that is a bad situation. > > I can probably host OpenSC if needs be. > > > Is anyone interested in working on this - building a new server > > somewhere? > > Or what is your suggestion to migrate the project to some hosting > > plattform? > > code.google.com, sourceforge, savannah, ...? > > github looks great. > Only the wiki needs hosting on dedicated host. > see my other list of all the components we have. not sure if we need all of them, though. or if migration from trac to X is possible without loosing all content. > > It not urgent, but I wouldn't be supprised if things break, as the > > server gets little attention. > > Thus the better someone steps up to maintain it, the better. > > I would be glad to apply to become part of a webmaster team. > great. though there is little of a team - haven't done much in the last years to keep the server alive, and not sure how much time martin has for the server maintainance. so we are mostly lookig for someone to take over the job I guess - that doesn't mean we drop dead, we are still reachable to help, but I can't do much more than help our here or there. > I am currently working on the packaging farm project with Viktor.
