Sam, are you saying you will pay the hosting costs yourself?

That's fine at first, for small groups and little storage, but of
course won't scale very far.

This is a great opportunity for us to begin trying to tackle the
complexities of co-ownership.

Once we understand how to share the Physical Sources required for
software, we can get serious about hosting email, video, applications
(SaaS), and even Operating Systems (cloud).

And once we understand how to share computer resources, we can use the
same findings to begin sharing the far more important Sources of our
Food and Shelter.
