PS: Another reason for hosting it onsite is that I'd also
like to
double-gateway it with the mailing lists -- hopefully
this will be doable.
I also would like to be able to control our own archives
rather than have
it up to the whim of some arbitrary 3rd party (how many
times have you
seen a forum's entire archive get lost because the
hosting company didn't
do backups, or the group moved from one hosting company
to another).
Archives are very important.
Oh, and I think having Ray Cone onboard is a great idea.
He might be able
to do some of the technical maintanence bits that don't
require physical
access to the machine.
One question for Larry and Phil (and anyone else who can
answer this):
Given a choice of all the open-source implementations
(e.g. phpBB) What
software would be preferred?

Find the staff first. We have the technical knowledge
to set it up. I
will be happy to set it up and maintain it on the AGA
site. We will be
able to tie in to the membership database that way.
And we also won't have
to pay $100-whatever per year for the hosting.
