I didn't realize we were thinking of having the forum on the wiki machine. Not unless OSUOSL was going to give us more space there. But it seems like that would be less than ideal anyway, unless my understanding that we don't have root access there, is wrong. It was an option originally, but I thought we had eliminated it as an option, and moved on.
I thought OSUOSL was going to set up a whole new kind of system for us. I haven't understood the details about that, because it's over my head. But to my understanding, we're thinking we'll get a new server.
That's assuming their answer to our request is positive. To my understanding, and to my knowledge, they haven't said 'yes' to a forum, and they could still say 'no'. Yes, they did say what they were thinking of doing (something different than what we have now). But as time keeps marching along, and all we hear are crickets, I have to wonder.
All best, brynn

The only thing I've heard is the message we got many weeks ago. They'd really really like to move us away from a custom Gentoo box and towards a managed system, things like the Forum, Wiki and Planet are natural modules for such a managed system.
If we install a forum on the wiki server, we'd be doing it on our own. It's something we could do, it's available to us, but a more conservative look says we probably shouldn't be.
But we can continue to dialog with them about the services we have with them. I'll be honest, if decommissioning the wiki machine helps us with our admin and makes osuosl happy enough to help us more with forums and websites, I'd like to be able to make them happy with us.
