1) call me by telephone when the site is down for more than a few minutes.=
=20
(512)-499-8246 home or
(512)-507-9077 cell

The house is being remodelled right now, and the computers and wiring
are exposed to children, workers, cats & dogs, and this has caused a lot=20
of outages.   After the remodel, they go back in the closet, where they
should be safe.

2) my sysadmin workload does not decrease if we move parts of gnucash
elsewhere, since these servers have other crap on them.


3) sourceforge is hardly an epitome of high uptime.  And when it is up, it =
often has
severe performance problems. :-( I think its oversubscribed.

4) My understanding is that savanah is hosted on the sourceforge cpu's
and network, so it suffers from the same problem.

5) I have an emotional attachment to having it here, I gues, so I wouldn't
support such a move ...
