Focusing Fast on the Future of this Forum

[David W]

Assuming that you want to help preserve all or part of this web site, we should perhaps now focus on one or both of the following Goals:

Goal 1: Preserve a read-only copy of this web site, as it reads today.

Goal 2: Relocate this entire site to a new host, and get it running again as a discussion forum.

Again assuming you are willing to help achieve one of those Goals, which Goal?

How can you maybe help achieve that Goal?

* For example, do you know how to copy long web pages so that entire threads can be copied and saved with reasonable efficiency?

* For example, do you know how to send money (from the USA) to a business man in Holland? (Assume that someone else in the USA supplies most of that money.)

* As another example, does anyone know how to have a large data file sent to them electronically from a computer in Holland? And can you store that large file for a while?

* As another example (for Goal 2) does anyone know of a computer host in Europe that is affordable and reasonably reliable? If not, do you know of one in North America? Or elsewhere?
