I just browsed thru http://groups.pm.org/faq.html . I didn't see
anything disallowing it. There was a reference that they do DNS
forwarding. This is basically the same thing, but the power is in our
hands to change it to whereever.
I suspect they use the PM.org hosted space because it's free. Also,
those sites tend to be pretty small. I have a development plan for our
group that could be pretty cool, but I need the power of Perl to harvest
it. More on this later. To get us off the ground, I'm going to replace
the existing pages, which I'm trying to get some time to work on.
