[snip] Since I wrote that project summary, a number of people have written in, either committing a certain amount or at expressing interest in the project. We have enough contributors that this system will be purchased - thanks to _everyone_! For some, a full share isn't appropriate at this time - no problem! I had mentioned (on the main web site, http://www.stearns.org/ford/ford-project.html ) that we'd consider offering "half-shares". Jeff and I talked it over today and we think it would be a postive way to include more people in the project. A half-share contributor would only need to come up with half the normal amount, and would get 80M of memory, 4G of disk space, and a virtual machine running at a nice level of 5. As always, if you're interested in taking part, please take a look at the above project summary and sign up for the mailing list at http://www.whoopis.com/mailman/listinfo/ford/ . There's still time to take part - additional members will allow us to increase ram, improve the CPU, buy additional space, or simply bring down the cost of both shares and half-shares.
