Let's put it in motion. On Monday, I will call Purdue and
Oregon State computing centers and find out if they are
amenable to this solution.
In the meantime, send me email (please, just email, not
postings) if you would contribute. Do *not* send money yet!
Just tell me how much you would be willing to contribute.
If you are a developer who has or intends to have demos on
these two servers, please indicate your product names as
well.
I'm not sure it needs to be said, but don't say you'll
contribute unless you really will.
