Let me rephrase that. When the few of us who actually respond to
meetings to discuss future server plans (a tiny portion of our
readership and attendants at meetings), almost everyone agreed that we
did not want to get involved again in the care and maintenance of our
own hardware. Been there, done that, the T-shirt is filthy.

This does not mean that others in the group do not want to deal with
servers and/or to form subgroups that care for these. That's exactly
what I meant by "Some members of CLUE may be interested". Obviously
you are. Feel free to pursue this and/or encourage others to do so.
