I think the first thing we need to do is decide if we need to do anything :-)
Then, if we *do* decide to move away from komkon, do we want to just use one of the photo-hosting sites such as smugmug (which looks good at first inspection), or do we want something with a little more configurability? We've got several good graphics artists, web programmers, etc., on the list - we could automate PUG submission even more than we have now, and have CGI scripts to generate per-photographer galleries as well as per-month views. The bad news is that sites which let you write your own CGI scripts referencing back-end databases tend to be a little more expensive than the simple hosting sites. But, if we *do* decide to go that way, it's possible that I may be able to provide that level of access at no charge. (I could easily do it on my existing personal domain, but I wouldn't do that without checking with the web hoster; my web access is a gift from a friend who runs a hosting site). I'd only ask him, though, if we'd make use of the features to provide something more than just a simple image hosting site. And I'd register a new domain name so we could run the PUG as a true virtual domain. I doubt if we could afford his market rates - I think his cheapest rate is around $250/year (and upwards ...). But if we want all the bells and whistles (including email, mailing lists, and just about anything else you could think of) then I'm pretty sure he'd have no problem with me setting up the site (root access to the main site servers can be useful :-)
