Do you have a domain name you will be pointing at this site?
James Linden registered http://www.projectgutenberg.ca/. Until recently, this pointed to a "coming soon" page, but now the URL is dead (and maybe his email address at this domain too?) James? Are you out there? Can you transfer / redirect the domain to the space on Russell's server?
This won't be a hands-off thing, so you will be able to contact me to do things like that without problem. I'm offering the space as I think the project is quite important.

Terrific. That's such a benefit for a project like this - having a host who understands and cares about the project. jen.

I see: http://www.openconcept.ca/whois.php?q=projectgutenberg.ca http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=projectgutenberg.ca Seems it can't connect to the mail servers, and I tried and I can't connect to the webserver. If he is already using @projectgutenberg.ca , then before any DNS is switched over I would need to have the email forwarding table. What we do is have a text file on the website which our email system automatically loads which has the mapping of username@domain to where it is then sent to.
James? Are you out there? Can you transfer / redirect the domain to the space on Russell's server?
We need to coordinate this if any services are already active to make sure that this is an "addition" and nothing already working gets lost in the shuffle. Would James be considered the technical lead for the project?

I figured this would come in handy. I became an ISP for this type of reason, because I was continuously hosting projects where I wanted to ensure that the policies of any single upstream wouldn't cause problems for me.

Umm, depends on which aspect we're talking about. James has been working on a back-end system called "Unibook" - most of the "Process" stuff on the Wiki assumes use of this application. I'm taking care of our web presence - the wiki and the front-end to the content repository. James registered the projectgutenberg.ca domain name before I became involved in PG-CA. As far as I know, it's never had anything but a "Coming Soon" page. Regardless, we have to get in touch with him to make sure. Let's wait a few days - maybe he's just off-line for a while. If we can't get in touch with him, do we have any alternative besides registering a new domain name? Could we work with a temporary domain name while we get things set up? jen.
