<div dir="ltr">Richard,<div>That sounds like a good idea! How about I keep the content up for another month so you can easily migrate from the existing site. I can of course create backups of the database and file system, but unless you plan to re-install joomla somewhere else I doubt that would help you much. I just checked, there isn't that much content, looks like 9 write-ups of meetings, several links to picasaweb for photos, a programme for 2011, etc...</div>

</div>How much traffic does it generate? Could it be home-hosted? Someone<br>
already offered a raspberry pi to use as server, and I already offered<br>
to put it on my network and maintain it within reason, though I'd<br>
appreciate not being the only one doing so.<br>
