Oh btw, I cleaned up the package archive (basically backed up and=20
removed old, obsolete package revisions).  Space consumption is=20
now down to a much leaner 3 GB. :D

HTTP: I like the idea of moving the main site to a dedicated=20
domain.  inceptionos.org sounds good.  If nothing else, the=20
maxlinux.sourceforge.net webhosting can just be used as a=20
mirror.

CVS: I say we keep CVS on SourceForge.  A great many of us (such=20
as yours truly) already have developer accounts on SourceForge,=20
and it seems to be doing all right.

FTP: The FTP archive should go to whoever can provide the most=20
bandwidth (as well as sufficient disk space).  It will be the=20
biggest load on our bandwidth, because of its sheer size. =20
SourceForge will *not* allow us to take up that much disk space=20
on their servers!

The FTP server should be capable of holding the package set for=20
each release of the distro, as well as current work-in-progress=20
packages (i.e. what I'm hosting on ftp://skarpsey.dyndns.org/ ). =20
It should also be capable of holding ISO images of each release.

Mailing-list: hmmm...so far, SourceForge is doing pretty well for=20
this.  I say stick with it, and keep some load off our servers.
