The problem with academic sponsorship might be that we have to
ask for (and have approved) any new service we want to offer.
If we don't know the right person to ask this could take a
long time. As well I'm not sure their admins would be happy
with people messing around on one of their machines who are
not directly connected to the institute.

OTOH I obviously had a wrong idea about hosting prices these
days ... From the financial point of view any sponsorship would
be preferred. If we can get a liberal (internet) sponsor I'd be
happy to help setting things up there. But I'd think twice if
it includes restrictions about what we can do with the site.

It is a great idea to consolidate any knowledge out there.
A tidy radiance-online.org would be a good start.
