Concerning our own site.
I made the following point in another thread related to "a new PUG", but I think it is relevant (even if I'm being redundant) here. I think that it is premature for any of us seem so willing to "dismiss" KOMKON so quickly, and to "dismiss" all the work that Adelheid has put into pug.komkon.org . Patience, patience...
I think the first thing we need to do is decide if we need to do anything :-)
Yes indeed. Not only would we ~not~ want to do anything rash (what - here on the PDML? - Har!), but patience would be a courtesy toward KOMKON, which has so graciously been willing to host the PUG and the PLG for free for some time now.
Furthermore, with all the talk within this and related threads about being willing to spend money to provide for hosting the PUG, perhaps a more suitable suggestion for those willing to contribute might be to consider sending support money to KOMKON (who apparently might have to be spending some money to get the KOMKON server back up again).
Unless we were to receive word that our relationship with KOMKON is no more (and I have not heard any such thing yet), I personally would like to go slow on too much (perhaps premature) talk about recreating the PUG someplace else.
