Overview

Our Internet presence currently consists of a web site, a list server, and a few random things. These are, or have been, generously hosted by Bruce Dawson and CodeMeta on his own servers (thanks, Bruce!). However, for a variety of reasons, we are have secured our "own" server -- see ServerReasons for why, and ServerHardware for what. This server has been christened liberty.

As of Aug 2006, the main web site and TWiki and master DNS have been moved to liberty. The mailing lists and archives remain on Rogue.

This project is being coordinated (loosely speaking) by BenScott, with BruceDawson's much-appreciated help. Volunteers are welcome.
