This sounds good to me. I think an "academic server" :) is best place for
hosting community services like LAD.
In commercial environment, _nothing_ is certain. This is not necessarily
bad, it's just the way things work. Company can go bankcrupt, it can be
bought, it can change it strategy.. etc, etc. For instance, I could host
LAD at eca.cx (physically on WakkaNet Inc servers). I already host the LAD
web archives on the same machines. But this isn't optimal. WakkaNet has
been in business since 1995, but there's still no guarantees about the
future. The recent WindRiver-Slackware case (
http://slashdot.org/articles/01/04/17/2118220.shtml ) should convince
everyone. As a short summary, Wind River bought BSDi, which again was
funding Slackware development. As a result, all Slackware developers lost
their jobs.
