We can also point <a href="http://kiwibots.org">kiwibots.org</a> to the mock up, which will free up Hanno's server, and continue our web presence inviting people to meetings. I don't have a static IP at the moment so propose to use google sites in the interim.<br>
<br></div>At next Mondays meeting we can decide what the site requirements are, most importantly who will be responsible for moderating content. The who what why where when stuff. Once the requirements are stable we can consider the how, that is choice of content management system, how and where served.

</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>
