I looked into this a few days ago and infopoint.org and infopoint.org.uk are 
both registered. Like Jono I'd like to see the project expand to beyond the UK 
in time, so I thought a .org domain was most suitable. So I've registered 
infopointproject.org. Passes the telephone test, even if there are a few Os 
and Ps. 

We can do what we like with this domain, really. As mentioned I'm happy to 
offer hosting on my box in Mayfair. Jono has said on the IRC channel that he's 
happy for some load to be taken off Angel. We've also discussed moving the 
wiki content across. Jono's skinned media wiki for the LRL06 pages to make 
them look something not like mediawiki, which I think would be something we 
should do for the InfoPoint wiki.

I need to investigate the plugins for Mediawiki and see if they support web 
admin for the all important banned strings and hosts features. The other 
option is to migrate to a different wiki like AbuseMode, which also has things 
like single click roll backs, removing of spam from diffs etc. I would be 
quite happy for this administration functionality to be available to anyone 
active on this list.
