Website

[Jack]

Well....

As the name says "network", this system is going to need to have a "home".

At first, I was thinking that having some way in which multiple sites hosted by different teams could have the data. But... I think that would make things sooo much more complicated.

Now, the FIRST requirements of having just one website & keeping this open to all teams are:

1) The site is not hosted by any team OR any team uses it's money to pay for hosting

2) More than one person should have access to the files, ....

Now, there's no rush, but here is my idea on how to do this:

The second requirement would be easy. Whenever a person is decided to be able to be trusted to not abuse the power or destroy anything, he/she would be provided with the access info.

The first one is also pretty easy. I've done this at least 8 times now. You send emails out to different hosting companies and request them to donate hosting. Becuase we wouldn't be hosting any videos, we don't need something mega huge like what cd or soap has. We'd need something like 200mb, (which i think normally has about 10gb trans. but i don't think we'd need that), a mysql db, php, ... I'd be willing to do something like this. As i then said above, i'd give some people who allready seem very involved in this project access and anyone who would also like to develope stuff.

I'm sort of bussy now, but we don't really have a time crunch so everything shoudl be ok.

Now, for domain names...

fsn.org is taken...
but... how 'bout firstscouting.org ??

Any other ideas on domain names, hosting, or "test projects" that we should work on during the summer would be welcomed here!
