What we can do is provide a auth server and related resources (ie process pool and community namespaces). We also provide services for developers such as webpages and code management tools (ie CVS). We are in a re-engineering cycle at the moment due to some changes in participants. We expect to have the auth server moved to the SSZ domain sometime during the week of June 16-20. Later in the year the current primary home site, Open Forge, will be going away due to lack of sponsorship. This means that SSZ will return as the primary host of the webpage and services. -- ____________________________________________________________________ We are all interested in the future for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives.
