Great! I suspect codespeak wouldn't want to be involved in this kind of 
stuff in the near future, so Chalmers to me sounds like a *great* option!

I have a long "history" with Chalmers, in that it's where the first 
lpmud was invented, and the first internet application I ever used in 
1991 (before I even knew there *was* an internet) was an lpmud. Chalmers 
has been on my radar as a place where great computer stuff is happening 
since then.

Chalmers being a university already makes it a lot more neutral. We can 
then make a domain name point at that.

Hey, did I tell you Silva runs at lots of universities? ;)

Sounds like a good plan. From what I can make out now the wishlist seems 
to be:

* A CMS to run the website. I'll support CPS in this, even though I 
think Silva would be a good fit too. :)

* Subversion repository

* Trac

* a mailman to set up some mailing lists

* checkin email facility

Regards,

Martijn
