At the moment I am working on setting up a new website for our business, =

so there is not much time left for another project. But IMHO for a =

project like LTSP it is important to provide an up-to-date www.website =

like so many other projects do (www.scribus.net, www.darktable.org...) =

as a central reference point for users and people who are interested. =

You can deviate users to github addresses from there, but there is a =

central place for news and basic information.

So I liked www.ltsp.org very much, and it would be a shame to lose it. =

What if we hire some server to let it point to and see if we can have it =

resurect?

A simple jump server can be hired for 1 Euro/month, a virtual server =

(like the one for my new website) costs 5 Euros. Would it help if I =

hired it for the project? I could contribute something to a project =

which has helped me ever so much over the last decade...

Rolf
