I'm not questioning the usefulness of a Haiku specific site. Such a site would
certainly be nice. I'm just wondering what you're asking of Haiku, Inc. ÂHaiku,
Inc. has two assets: money and the Haiku related trademarks. So they could fund
the hosting (I suppose a virtual root server would suffice initially and thus
hosting wouldn't be that expensive anyway) and allow the use of the trademarks.
However, they do not have a hidden reserve of manpower. So the main issue --
the long-term administration -- still remains. I don't think the approach you
seem to have in mind -- initiate the project and then have others take over --
is realistic ATM. But by all means, if you think it is, please go ahead. Just
don't expect Haiku, Inc. to provide you with things, they don't have --
administrators to take over. (*)
CU, Ingo
(*) I'm supposing you aren't suggesting to hire administrators.
