There is no reason to spend $$$ on this. Basically, just need to get a
domain name and get it hooked up with either fd.o or gnome.org hosting
space for free.

Sure, that is fine...nice bikeshed comment, but I'm not into bikeshed
development, but progressing projects with public interfaces
(www.rejon.org/bio).

Sure, I think setting up this site on fd.o is a good idea, using their
already working wiki, and hitting go (plus, me and several cohorts
already have fd.o accounts and could help...)

Yet again, if this project goes with fd.o, they have a bug tracker,
wiki, hosting, list, etc, so that seems like a great way to go. And, it
would be easier to get new devs. accounts, etc.
