We have done it for two projects. We hope in the future to put banners
in their sites and obtain a % of their money ;-) For them now it hasn't
any cost until they see that it can be a bussiness for them. The cost
for us is minimal.

When you have slashcode 2.0 installed in your system, hosting a new
slashsite is trivial. You add a new virtual user for DBIx:Passowrd ,
execute /usr/local/slash/bin/install-slashsite and include in httpd.conf
the new Virtual Host as said in the file automatically generated by
install-slashsite.

There are two kinds of people: we, the technicians and the people who
have the content for the slashsite. The last can't install slashcode but
this is normal I think.
