I don't really know how "the cloud" works, other than this[1]
explanation, but I'd prefer to have a server that we manage ourselves.
Niklas seems to have good experience with running various web
services, as do I. Although, I must admit the majority of my knowledge
leans towards FreeBSD rather than GNU/Linux, but I have experience
with nginx, postgresql, php, pf (the firewall), and jails. That could
all be useful down the line for security reasons (such as running our
web stuff in a jail and having an automatic build script running in
another jail...stuff like that).

I agree with keeping it simple. We currently have the "interact" page
here [2], so maybe we can remove the "forum" link from the nav bar,
replacing it with an "Interact" link? We also have a link to the wiki
from the main page: "For more technical information about the project,
please visit our wiki." so maybe the wiki link can be removed too? So
that would remove two links and add one.
