[V8] How 'bout a website? (Mike B)

[Torrence Thomas]

Mike B:

Count me in. We're an ISP. Consider all web hosting services donated. What 
are we setting up exactly aside from a website?
Define features. Who will volunteer to design the database driven site? Got 
servers with SQL 7 running and waiting.
