[Imc-tech] hosting other cities

[Paul Riismandel]

At yesterday's Tech meeting we had a brief discussion about hosting other 
IMC sites on our server(s), since the Seattle cluster is 
pretty  overwhelmed much of the time. However, given the trouble we've had 
getting active to run and keep it updated there was no groundswell of 
support for doing this--at least not with our threadbare tech team.

For context, this topic arose on the Global IMC-Tech summaries:
Alternate Indymedia Servers
New Jersey, Twin Cities, Maine, Buffalo and others want to
know about hosting other cities on their server. SF and LA
are already hosting other cities. There is a European
server being setup. But despite all this great work,
several of the imc's do need help getting active setup and
having their servers so they can manage multiple sites.
IMC-Tech could use some more sysadmin's to step forward
and help these new servers get setup and working.

So we're not the only ones even considering it, nor the only ones who think 
it's difficult.

Ultimately it'll be volunteer labor that will or won't solve the problem.
