After the lesson of AMF, I think we need to go better than a service
hosted by some company somewhere which coule wind up at any time.
We need to register a domain name, host it with an established company.
Three or four people whould share the costs and each have a set of
login details to give them access to make updates, take backups, etc.
The host should be aware of this arrangement lest any one of the
caretakers try to gain full control of the site. Any of the caretakers can
choose to drop out of the arrangement at any time, in which case there
could be a vote on alt.html for who would replace them, with each existing
caretaker having one veto.
The site could have some minimalist advertising (e.g. Google Adwords) to
help cover its costs and reduce the financial burden on the caretakers.
Whatsmore it might make sense to share the site with some of our cousins
in comp.infosystems.www.authoring.*, comp.lang.php, alt.www.webmaster,
etc, many of which are also lacking FAQs.
