Re: [Rule-list] Need for an application database

[Rodolfo J. Paiz]

All:

Sorry I've been gone (state of my life, I'm afraid), and I haven't yet been 
back to Guatemala so I haven't even started testing. However, in some good 
news I've been promised a second PC I could use for testing, so hopefully 
I'll now have two.

Yes, my server has perl, and it should be the latest version; not online 
right now so can't check. Doesn't everyone? MySQL and PHP are also there, 
and there may be other useful stuff too.

The server: Duron 1GHz, 512MB RAM, 40GB drive, 400GB transfer per month, 
running Red Hat Linux 7.1 (Seawolf?) with Plesk GUI on top. OpenSSH from 
updates installed, of course. I can easily provide whatever resources we 
require at this point.

Damn, just how do you get that kind of pricing? In any case, I'd vote for 
"please do get the name!".

My thoughts on names:

1. I prefer the rule-project.org name as proposed.

2. I fully agree that having our own domain is vastly preferable.

3. We should have rule-project.org and proyecto-rule.org and 
projeto-rule.org and one in each language. These can then lead to the 
properly translated websites.

4. We should *not* confuse people by having two or more different domain 
names like linux-rule.org. Let's pick one and stick to it.

5. I suggested rule.indahaus.com primarily as a starting point. That is, my 
thought was to set it up immediately using that name and change it to the 
chosen one when available. Now, however, I believe we should simply start 
immediately with the chosen name.
