I think the hosting is a great idea and i know its not this post but i like Matt's answer to the problem best. now back on track being new to the team i will be glad to help in any part of the team. feel free to assign something to me and it will get done. but like media project i looked at it on the home wiki page and its still pretty vauge. so you assign it ill do it untill im more familiar witht he workings of the way the projects work. - -- GnomeFreak
