Re: Web Hosting for Monks

[footpad]

As always, ++ for the idea. Go for it.

As far as possible domains, I see that:

• monkcentral.net
• monksonline.net
• monkweb.net
• japm.net
• kwdf.com
• rodentinvasion.net
• nodereaper.com

Are all available as of this writing.

As far as services, I'd love to see:

• email (with forwarding)
• CGI (duh)

• FTP

• A certain amount of hosting, perhaps something like footpad.japm.net, though you might consider making it available at a certain level. After all, do we really want something like imabigfattroll.japm.net?

• Hosting of the Perlmonk's SharedBook Repository, so we can see which books are available and where they are.

• A search engine that combines hits from pm, that article archive we're always yammering about, Dominus's pages, and so on. Sort of a Good Perl Search Portal.

In fact, you could even set up a subscription type of thing where you split the proceeds with vroom and co. Make it affordable enough for everyone, even damian1301. ;-)

P.S. You could even tell us who won the t-shirt. ;-)

I like nodereaper.{com,net,org}, monkweb.{com,net,org}, and perlmonk(s?).{com,net,org} best out of the domains suggested. As far as levels, I suggest you have any monk desiring web hosting /msg jcwren; after all, e is the one providing it (?). As far as the subscription idea, um ... *ahem* uh ... *cough* *cough* *wheeze* um ... well, I don't know how damian1301 is doing financially, but I'll bet that unless e's broke, my net worth is less than es. Significantly less.
