I've used Dreamhost for a long time (2002) and they're pretty good. My DH site is not high-traffic, but they've been fairly reliable. More reliable than Valencia (though I don't know the reasons for Valencia's downtime). If you go with Git (and there's a lot of discussion about Git vs Hg -- I've used Hg more recently), I'd just use GitHub. They seem to have this stuff figured out. No sense badly reinventing git hosting. I do NOT think OSG should run our own repository at this stage of the game, even if we _CAN_. > github also now have their own wiki, Gollum: > https://github.com/features/projects/wikis Chances are, it's adequate to do the things that TRAC's Wiki already does. In that case, it's good enough for me. I could also possibly offer to host the website myself. I have a colo box in a datacenter in Denver that hosts all my website and my OSG binary downloads. I don't pay for metered bandwidth, I only pay a flat monthly cost. My current server might be adequate for the task, but it might be pushing it too. I could figure out what it would cost for a newer machine (I'm budgeting a new rackmount server right now for another project) and the monthly monetary costs. I'd volunteer to install and keep the machine running if the community could assist with the hardware and recurring expense. I've done this for some other not-for-profit organizations I work with. The bandwidth is not guaranteed throughput, but we can pay for a 10Mb or 100Mb pipe and get quite a bit of utilization out of them. > Finally once we've decided upon hosts for our needs, and the > technologies that we migrate too we'll need to do the migration of our > present wiki and version control systems.

I'm probably not a good person to step forward for this. I especially know nothing about Wiki migrating, but even if we have to do that by hard, that's something non-sysadmin types could help with -- copying and reformatting a page and adding it to the new site. It might also be useful to see if there is interest in moving the Forum interface to the same hosting platform. -- Chris 'Xenon' Hanson, omo sanza lettere. xe...@alphapixel.com http://www.alphapixel.com/ Digital Imaging.
