I don't see why not :-)

The only things to consider are 1. it's now doing a lot so
it's so fast.. and 2. any donations towards the cost of
the server and it's running costs would be appreciated :-)

We have also been considering getting a dedicated database
server to site next to it to make it faster...

Also Traven is supposed to be a dedicated publishing
server so having some mirrors of your site would be
good... the ahimsa server can host one to start with, but
more would be better. I'm thinking about perhaps sending a
general appeal to imc-tech for help with mirroring Mir
sites...

At ahimsa we can also set up a rsync server for the site
to make it easy for other people to mirror it, see here
for more info:

Well assuming there are no objections we can sort out the
technical details in irc, come to #traven on
irc.indymedia.org -- Zapata and I might do some work on
this tomorrow evening European time.
