Community shell severs are probably a worthwhile thing which benefits 
the community in many different ways.

With regards to web hosting, the jury is out in my opinion.

Control can sometimes be a bad thing - when things go wrong you have to 
fix then. When things go wrong on hosted system, you just let someone 
else worry, who is (hopefully) a lot better skilled than you.

I would really avoid playing with mail personally. It is a nasty can of 
worms and things go wrong much worse.

Currently our mail setup is quite nice and stable and flexible - 
webmail/imap/pop + autoresponders and aliases... :-/

thoughts?

Cheers,
