Melanchton, I found this while looking for relevant examples. I mention it for the bit at the bottom about EU privacy laws and the filing with CNIL.

(CNIL: France's Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés, the authority for the protection of personal data.)

You're clearly a dangerous pinko commie pragmatist.

Thanks, Vagulus. I think privacy policy is important, too.

The sponsors list in the Eurolinux petition above reminded me of another important aspect: cost. Registering a domain name within the .eu (of course!) top level domain is cheap. Hosting a lot of web traffic possibly not - we may need to pass the kitty around to get started, and perhaps include a link for people wishing to make a small donation through PayPal toward the cost of running the website.

Lest it gets buried under a ton of messages: see linca's below about the computer/coding side of the project.

I can pre-fund a site (4.00 / 4)

before any collective funding mechanism can be set up (or instead of). Might as well take advantage of my disgusting bourgeois banker condition for something useful.

Jeez, Vagulus- good idea, good model. While I was there, I tried to sign.

Zope is the content management system behind the page. It blew a gasket.
