Not sure what I should write about today really. Am having lots of exciting ideas about themes, James wants to implement something whereby we can build them dynamically, I’m not sure yet that this would be a good idea, might be better when we get our own server Where do we go from here with the site? Was looking at hosting solutions...getting a 1U space in a rack’s not that expensive, possibly 3x what we’re paying at the moment (which is only just over a tenner a month) - the hardware and OS licenses would be more expensive, but grants are gettable, etc. I don’t mind the odd “sponsored by” or “supported by” message on the front page if it means we can keep this a free service and not have to charge anything. Still, the deal the site’s on at the moment is pretty cool, I’m just not sure that it’ll support more than about 20 users concurrently, which could be an issue. Or maybe I’ll just wait for the site to reach breaking point and then decide at that point what to do? We’re currently sat on a shared server, and it could become an issue if we or another site on the server use up too many resources. Tho this site’s built to be fairly lightweight, there’s at least one database write on every page, and this is likely to become greater if I do anything funkeh with the stuff that’s stored in cookies at the moment As far as I can see, there’s three alternatives to sponsorship... 1) Make the users pay a subscription of a quid a month or something 2) Collect some “trustees” of the site who are willing to donate £5-£10 a month to keep it running 3) Stay this big. Don’t advertise. Keep this as a close knit community I prefer idea number 2, because then it’s opt in, and to all intents and purposes remains a free site, but it’d depend on the level of interest, failing that, number 3
