    My pleasure!  That does sound rather restrictive.

    I am in the process of configuring and hardening my new web 
    server .. it will be ready to host domains by the end of the
    week.  nova.pm.org will be the first domain I put on it :).

    This will mean that we will have a website + ssh/sftp .. I would
    prefer not to use ftp unless there is an absolutely compelling
    reason.  The site will also have remote POP3/SSL and IMAP4/SSL
    access.  I will install ikonboard and MoveableType on it and
    we can go from there as far as what to put on the website, what
    other kinds of groupware / collaboration tools will be useful 
    / productive, etc.  For example, if we find a Wiki would be something 
    that would generate interesting and useful discussions and/or projects, 
    I can put TWiki on the account.
    
    As far as who gets what level of access, that can be done on 
    an 'as needed' basis.  For example, if people are interested, we could
    set up @nova.pm.org email addresses for members who want them .. with
    mail forwarded to the persons' real email address  or read from the box, 
    if that is something that people want and that makes sense for us to
    do.  As long as members are being respectful of privileges granted to 
    them, I am happy to give whatever access is deemed necessary.

    I am flexible but I won't tolerate abuse of resources.  Abuse privileges
    and we will take them away.  I say that just to lay my ground rules out, 
    not because I expect anyone to do anything nefarious.  I am not the BOFH :P.
    This site is being hosted gratis :), please keep that in mind.

    Martin, I will contact you directly when the box is secured and the 
    domain account has been set up (should be by next Wednesday at the
    latest) so we can get the DNS configured.

    If anyone has questions about the hosting account or anything I have
    brought up in relation to it in this email, please feel free
    to ask them on or off the list :).

Regards,
Max
