Seems to me that it would save us so much in resources and time to take advantage of their free accounts for open source projects and they seem to be doing a pretty good job. Perhaps there are concerns about relying on a third party but for an organization powered by volunteers, using a free service like this could be a great benefit. Perhaps there are good reasons why this cannot be done but was wondering if it was discussed at all. -leo On Wed, Nov 9, 2011 at 10:46 AM, Christian Grobmeier wrote: > On Wed, Nov 9, 2011 at 7:38 PM, Jeremy Thomerson > wrote: > > > > On Wed, Nov 9, 2011 at 1:30 PM, Christian Grobmeier > > > wrote: > >> > >> In addition you can ask on wave-dev.
