Overview

Our Internet presence currently consists of a web site, a list server, and a few random things. 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 14 Oct 2006, all services (DNS, mail, web) have been migrated to liberty.

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