If it would be of interest, I'm soon to set up a group of freelancers to
share a resellers hosting facility. This is not meant to be a commercial
venture but an exercise in learning the ropes and helping each other to
find out how to make full use of the facilities on offer (a collaborative
learning exercise). The idea is that if we get enough of us together it
should work out at a cost no more than that of a book on the subject (not
that any such book exists).

BTW A good forum in the UK for Web site developers can be found at
www.freelancers.net

It has about 200 subscribers and is very active.
