Why not the domain vague.vt.us for the group? That doesn't seem to be
claimed.

Dear Josh,
Where did that fantastic image come from? And why do I not own a

P.S. Both vague.us and vague.org seem to be in a state in which
they're not doing much for their owners...perhaps one or the other
would be willing to part with the domain?

Does anyone have recent status of the Vague wiki? Will someone volunteer
to do a primer about the wiki this month since we don't have any other

data.
The VAGUE wiki is a bit outdated mediawiki install, but it is roughly up
to date, content wise. I moved all historical meeting
announcements/notes and other uvm.org/vague/ pages into the wiki, as
well. A couple of months ago, Aaron and I tried to upgrade mediawiki
en-route to using it solely for the http://uvm.org/vague/ webspace, but
that failed primarily because that webhost is not running php5. :| I
understand there's an effort being made to make php5 available on that
host, but its a long battle. :(
FWIW, I'd love if we had a reasonable second-level domain for VAGUE that
was more … well, bluntly, under my^w our control. :D Not that I don't
totally love and appreciate the uvm.org webspace and *especially*
mailing-list hosting and archives. But I think a second-level domain
would help with google juice and group identity/branding, especially
externally. And this php hosting situation is a PITA. Problem is, I
can't seem to figure out a good second-level domain that's available. I
guess we could copy the VAGUE Geocaching group
<http://www.geovague.org/> and go with <http://unixvague.org/> or
something. Thoughts? Can we get a good domain I can register, and
migrate VAGUE's web presence over there?
Also, can we get a good logo? :) My pathetic attempt from a couple of
years ago is attached as a cautionary exa^w^w^w^w for inspiration. :)
