|* Bandwidth - This is a very subjective metric, which depends greatly on
|the community's use
|* serverload - I judge this to be very small. It wasn't even noticeable on
|my server
|* diskspace - Again this grows with content, but in general I think
|everything was under 2 Mb
|
|What is needed for maintenance? Well, there's not a lot to it.
|The most frequent task is resetting passwords which regrettably is a manual
|process.
|The next biggest task is adding new webs(though this shouldn't happen too
|often).
|Other than that and the occasional house keeping it maintains itself.
|(Oh, whoever takes it over, it would help if you had some skill with Perl,
|*nix, and RCS)

Also another mailinglist posting:

|

So we have information from the previous maintainer,
the current maintainer says "take it on"
and one who wants to pick it up.
To continue with my wishfull thinking:
Who is in charge of the gnuarch.org DNS?
