Firstly, a great job well done and thanks to Dan for putting this
together, and to Gordon for helping.

This is really timely, as our meeting last night produced a good solid
plan for going forward, and I shall post my full notes on that later.

Here are the options as I see it.

Gordon doesn't want to host this, and would like it else where in the next
3 months. So I suggest the first thing we do is put the breaks on the DNS
changes, and hold that thought.

I am happy to host the LUG site into the future, but I don't want to host
Wordpress on my production application server, as I try to keep that super
lean on installed things, for maintenance purposes.

I'd be happy to work with you Dan, to get this style, look, feel and
content structure running out of our Joomla based system. Alternatively,
but not my preferred route, we could install it on my secondary server,
which is a mail server, but does have PHP and Apache

Hope this is helpful
