Hey,
Hi all,
some time ago I offered to help with the crux/clc website merge, I drop you some proposal/idea in case we're going to start to work on the project during the following weeks.
I've been evaluating some wiki package during the last days and my preference goes to wikka wiki:

In my opinion with something like Wikka we could manage the entire CRUX/CLC website in a collaborative manner, and use cvstrac only as a bug tracker. Agreed. I'd also like to see subprojects appearing there, like amd64, or the mono ports if those guys manage to form a group :-)
Apart from the choice of software, we cannot really start something without some knowledge about the physical location of the site. Jay mentioned on IRC that he might help us here, since he has some connections to a local university (I hope I remember that correctly). Jay, can you elaborate on this?
Sure. I'm 90% confident that it would not be a problem at all for me to drop a box on UMass Dartmouth's T1. I can also probably convince my boss to donate some older hardware (something like a P3 700, 256MB) to the project. I live about 10 minutes from the university, and am still in contact with several of my professors. So handling hardware malfunctions in a timely manner wouldn't be terribly difficult. It would be completely free. The only problems we'd have to deal with would be power outages, etc..maybe twice a year. What I'd like to do, if we persue this, is get the machine up and running and drop it on the line. Then give root to those of you who require it (jw, jaeger, pli, sip..). You guys could then work your magic and get whatever else the box needs installed and running. I started thinking of this idea back at CruxCon, when we spoke of merging the CLC/Crux.nu websites. To me, it only makes sense that we'd be better off with our very own box..rather than dealing with someone else's hosting policies. Just an idea. Let me know if you wish for me to persue it further.
