Right now, running lojban.org is essentially free for me, because I use my home internet access. I'm proposing using a real hosting service (Amazon's EC2 would be about $100/month) and having the LLG pay for it. I would also step up donations to help cover the costs (hence getting the tax deduction). epkat: I can't give you specific costs because EC2 bils by usage, but it would be about $100/month. -Robin -- Lojban Reason #17: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo Proud Supporter of the Singularity Institute - http://singinst.org/ http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/
