So how shall we proceed with the dedicated server proposal? I'd be all set for going ahead with the order (excluding domain transfers, in order to not interfere with the alpha release) and starting the basic setup once the server is available. I would guess that we need a couple of weeks to ensure that all the different services (and backup schemes ;-) work as expected, especially since several people that have volunteered to help me with configuring the web services will be busy with the alpha release, too (and I think the latter should be our focus). When everything is working, we can finally transfer the domain, which I think should then belong to haiku inc. instead of an individual (the current owner is Tyler Akidau). cheers, Oliver
