Re: Regarding cbm-hackers archive/frontend at Nabble

I manage our servers in the US on Amazon, let me know if I can help through
my company, degnanco.com to at least temporarily store archives, at no

(I am also looking for a front-end developer who knows web design for my
company if anyone is looking for a regular part time consulting gig)
