Invoices have been sent to Marlene (iirc), but marked "paid by J 
Howden" or similar. I hadn't been told of any need for assistance.

Indeed this is the case. But in weo's case, rather than a simple 
"Here's hosting that we're donating to you", it's a "here's paid-for 
hosting, which I will pay the invoices for"

It's a bit of a semantic difference, but a difference all the same.

Jeff - how much are you able to continue to donate?

I would think so. It might end up such that we'll pay for weo until 
such time as we can move it onto the servermatrix infrastructure (ie 
redevelop weo into something we can support on an OSS platform)

And wouldn't *that* be a spur to get on and *do* the redesign...

Cheers
Martin
