Actually and again as noted by Jed in the follow up email, there was a lengthy discussion for such which I have noted a few times on the CLUE-Admin list recently and in the past.  I would prefer CLUE's site and services be somewhat decently hosted if not professionally vs. "someone's sandbox".  If people want a sandbox, there are other ways do do/play with such.  CLUE's site and services is the one thing that ties everything and everyone together though IMHO.  We all have a tie of being Linux users and Open Source enthusiasts which started a long time ago (before my days with CLUE) with such services.  Like Linux and Open Source, things evolve, so naturally CLUE's site and services should do so with the community input but a solid direction.

Just my $0.02.
