Hi Jonathan, You really have been one of the more interested people here and I'd hate to lose your enthusiasm.. I changed that subject line and suggested you talk with the infrastructure admin team - may I pull back a little on that.
I put the better part of a yesterday diving into the details for a few of the possible choices here - including standing up a test instance on my local machine. Primarily with an eye to user account management, NL support, accessibilty and integration (email, mailing lists, on-line docs, etc). Saturday I put time into coming up to speed on some of the other, as I see it related, projects already being worked on for the website - the Bug reporting page and the user feedback feature. There will be a question as to what to do with Nabble going forward also. Anyway long way to get to the subject - I think we are a bit ahead of ourselves to worry about build out at the moment. So for the moment - maybe you could PM me your skype information and we could talk about some of this..would that be oK?
