Max has hinted at several ideas for better reliability, but it seems to me it is hard to achieve a situation where the hardware AND the management remain under his control. This is not something we want to be farmed out to someone with lots of computing power, but no idea of the history and 'feel' for what it is.

Ideally, I'd love to see someone big simply fund it, and hire Max & Jeff to run it full time....but folkies are not a major item on the radar of most philanthropic organizations these days. Besides-- we don't keep out mouths shut about the world..*grin*
