It amazes me that some of the other communities for the Summit didn't or haven't done the same - there <em>must</em> be technically savvy people in them that can register a domain name and upload Wordpress... Surely. Funding costs: US$18 - two years registration of 2020summit.org $0 - Wordpress $0 - Sandbox theme and skin $0 - hosting (sits with hosting I already have) Time costs: 5 minutes to register 5 minutes to change DNS entries 10 minutes to FTP files to server 10 minutes to install and configure Wordpress 5 minutes to write first post 1 minutes tweet it and get others helping out It's so simple I'd do the same for other communities for nothing. They should track me down and email me. Stuff like this is really easy.
