As far as funding goes, EUR250 sound perfectly feasible given the number of regular contributors. You could make it an "official suggestion" that people who plan to submit on a regular basis contribute EUR10 if they can afford it - that would probably be enough IMO.

Hi list,
it seems that the komkon server will not come back. I didn't hear from Igor for quite a time now and I think we have to think about a new home for the PUG.
Jostein and I are already in the process of defining a "new PUG". Before we go any further in this process which includes reserving a domain and buying webspace I have some questions to the list:
1: Does anybody else want to take over the resposibility for the PUG. It means: does anyone else wants to be the new PUGmeister? I am now PUGmeister for over two years. The former PUGmeisters changed after 18 monts so it might be that somebody else desperatly wants to take over. ;-) Volontiers should apply to Jostein and me directly please.
2: The new domain name: I checked "pdml-pug.net" that's still free. "pug.net" isn't. If you want another name, please check whether it is still free before you tell the list.
3: If Jostein and I are going to handle PUG in the future we insist on a
"proper" provider. We don't want to have the hassle with changing the domain
to another provider every other day. So the webspace will not come cheap. We
think about 250 Euro per year. That's the upper end, there might be a
cheaper one saw one today but have to investigate..., but we need a
considerable amout of space that's the expensive part. And we want a
provider with regular backups etc. - a professional setup. 4: Jostein and I discussed a databased setup, where autopug and PUG are hold
together. How this will be accomplished is not very clear yet. I will setup
a prototype and start testing in the near future if I stay PUGmeister. If
somebody else will help with this task, please write Jostein and me offlist.
I think these are enough questions to start the ball rolling.
Cheers Jostein and Adelheid
