*BTW...what happened to the server...??? I think people had made some pretty good financial contributions...*
The server was shipped in. Check the archives for Josiah's thread titled: *Good News :: New Server* ** *<Flashback>* *Hi,* *The server is finally here! (applause!)* *The Specs (Generally): 4x500GB 16GB RAM AMD CPU 2U rack mount* *Financials: Total cost was ~ 105k (cost of server, shipping) We had a total of 92k for contributions from guys. Thanks alot everyone! The shortfall was covered for the moment - though if any one feels 'sufficiently philanthropic'....* *Appreciation: Many thanks to Phares for really really driving this :) Wananchi for hosting skunkworks online so far...* *Pending: For now, what remains is setup and migration from the existing server - need help for this - guys who can take up things and run with them.* *What is it for? What would really be useful to have on the server - it's a community resource so anyone can contribute. So far: 1) Mailing List (lists.my.co.ke) 2) Blog (blog.my.co.ke)* *Other questions, comments, suggestions are welcome - will be answered - in time.* *-- Josiah Mugambi * *</Flashback>*
