**ANNOUNCE** upcoming changes to hylafax.org infrastructure

Folks,

I'm excited to announce that iFAX has recently signed a colocation agreement 
with Sungard Availability Services (http://availability.sungard.com/) which 
will allow us to dramatically improve the resilience and performance of 
every aspect of the hylafax.org services, including the website, bug 
tracking database, CVS repository, mailing lists and wiki. The hardware is 
already in place, and we will shortly be starting to move services from our 
current setup to this new platform.

The good news is that this will give us an opportunity to step back and take 
a fresh look at the website (which is far too dated for such a cool 
project!), update the underlying software that powers it all, and add 
features that the community may find useful. We're eager to hear from you - 
please tell us what you think hylafax.org is lacking, and we'll see what we 
can do to correct that!

If you would like to offer suggestions, please do so by emailing me directly 
to avoid cross-posting confusion and mailing list clutter on a topic that 
may not interest many. If there's enough interest we can create a separate 
mailing list for people to exchange ideas, but for now I'd like to act as 
scribe and secretary, and work with our web team to help decide what is 
practical for us to accomplish in a reasonable timeframe.

iFAX is committed to funding this work whether our web team actually does 
all of the work or not, so if you think you'd like to get paid to design 
and/or hack on a new hylafax.org website, we're interested in hearing from 
you!

-Darren
