We host the development and operation on Red Hat/Fedora servers, with the effort of the Fedora Infrastructure team. Officially, though, we treat Smolt like it were an upstream project. For now, I think we're content to continue having Fedora host our stuff, since it would be a lot of work to distribute the load. Mike got the 'smolts.org' domain specifically so we wouldn't have a fedora related URL. > Another thing: Would you agree to make smolts.org look even less like > Fedora as we're starting to use it together? You already did a lot but > why not have a own color for smolts for example? Would you be open > for that? We rather like the colour blue, and there aren't many colors that are distro-independent. Actually, I'm not as an artistic person as I would like to be, and can't really come up with a new theme myself. I have no problems changing the theme. Perhaps we should have our artwork teams collaborate on something? >> - We should be making releases of the data available to the public, >> stripped of private information.

I'll defer to Mike on how often he plans on making the public releases. I think once a week is reasonable. You can import the data into mysql, and run any sql query you want on it. If you need the actual data more frequently, you will have to speak to Mike. mfG, Yaakov
