I am throwing this out there, can we ask Mike Valstar for a dump of all his stuff, slap it on gentoo hardware under a wiki.gentoo.org link? It could be a "community building" experience and offering the stability of gentoo hardware to a service like gentoo-wiki. Maybe also invite Mike to be the admin of said hardware, etc. Thoughts? (I don't know what a community wiki would require for infra hardware, maybe someone will chime in) 2 cents, Jeremy
