Dear Steven et al,

Many thanks for starting hosting services.

Can you advise me how to go about hosting for an NGO?

Ditto, ditto.  This is exciting, truly.  Congratulations.

Similar ulterior motive:  I'm currently investigating options for a nonprofit

-- US-speak for NGO or "civil society organization" as Jeremy Rifkin suggests
to avoid having to identify ourselves as being "not" government or "not" for
profit-- membership organization that is seeking to create a vibrant online
community. GroupServer may be just the fit they are seeking.  I'll begin by
being active in the current communities.  If you have info about how we might
help my client organization start a community, that would be great.

Welcome everyone.

While E-Democracy is hosting this "we love groupserver" online group, we are
only hosting official E-Democracy online groups on this install.

However, I am also using it at http://forum.dowire.org and Tim Erickson has a
version at http://discuss.politalk.org

Anyone can download the code and install it for their own use or you can
contract with the IOPEN and GroupSense folks if you need special help.  See:
http://groupserver.org

Once this group builds up over 20 members, I'll kick in with a round of
introductions.

Cheers,
Steven Clift

Hi Folks in this group,

As Steve says, you can host your own GroupServer site on a relatively standard
server (details at http://groupserver.org).

My company has IOPEN (http://iopen.net) do all our hosting. We think they are
good - but then we would because we have designed and built GroupServer
together with them.

Happy to answer any questions you have.

cheers
