Since early August (when NYPHP.org was colocated as it's own server) we've
offered rooted FreeBSD jails for Open Source development
(http://xs.projects.nyphp.org for instance) projects.  These are full blown
virtual servers, where you can compile/configure/etc just about everything
you need, and play around with it.

Does this mean you can host non-computer-related-non-profit.org or
ebusiness.com with us?  No; for that, use one of the many great commercial
hosting solutions offered by list members (PLUG: I administer
http://thehostingcompany.us  :)

This is not a hosting service, but rather a SourceForge on steriods, with
access to the host's sysadmin (me) and root access, giving you maximum
flexibility and support for development and education.

Lastly, if there are people who are experienced with these types of things
(jails, sysadmin, scripting, etc) we'd be interested in forming an
admin/support staff group, allowing many projects to be hosted
(bandwidth/hardware resources are not at issue - just time).  And it looks
great on a resume  :)

Excellent, it'll be good to work with you.

A website mirror per se, not really, but a system mirror wouldn't be turned
away  :)

Sorry, can't be much help - use freenode or efnet  :)

Best,
