Sure, but we all have resource constraints.  To me it's more interesting 
to see how well we can run the server than to add widgets to it, unless 
the widget is something that the members would really use (i.e., it's 
better to set up Mailman than to tweak Postfix).

So where is it?  If that's the goal and you want to do it and have time 
this thread is irrelevant.  Just do it (assuming the other admins have 
no good reason why you shouldn't).

'Course if your goal is to educate us unwashed masses (well, me anyway), 
our own server may not matter and setting up something on another server 
might do just as well.  And that might be fun too.
