Sounds good for now - I'll see if I can get GNE as
I've made it so far running on sourceforge then. As
for storing the articles - how much would a server
cost? I'm guessing £800 would cover the cost of the
hardware, and give us a really good server. Mind you,
for now we don't need a very fast server so we could
try and buy something a little worse and hope to
upgrade when we get better. Then we need the 'Net
connection, and at least we'd need it running on a
cable modem, if we know of a company who will let you
host on one. But more probably, we'd be needed a big
line here, which would cost a fair bit too. And then
there's the storage, including electricity bills! :-)
