Well, I have my Dreamhost account where I host a few websites. I've already
set up WordPress, MediaWiki, PHPBB forums (both 2 and 3), registered domain
names and written custom PHP stuff, so I have some experience with it.
There's even other stuff you can easily install, like Moodle. (I don't know
what that is, but I can set it up for you.) Also, I've got all sorts of
disk space and bandwidth, and I'd be happy to share some for the ARG SIG.
The only actual expense would be registering the domain, which is $9.95 a
year...Heck, I could donate that too. ;) Or someone else could register
the domain and point it to the site.
