Al,

I share your concern. Your concern was the primary (though not only) 
reason that I originally proposed, publicly in the forum and privately 
to Rob, that the site be hosted on RDS controlled computers. I am 
hesitant to put work into a Wiki that does not have a secure future.

At least one reasonable fix exists. Could Aku and Rob agree to have 
regular, even daily, backups of all files made to RDS controlled 
computers? I do mean all files, Wiki program and contributed text. If 
RDS received or got a daily backup of all files, then if the EUwiki site 
went out, Rob or someone else could have it up and running again in a 
short time.

My hesitancy remains until such assurances are in place. I fully support 
a permanent Wiki but am hesitant to support (with my effort and time) a 
Wiki that might be ephemeral. By the way, I like the start that EUwiki 
has had. It shows promise. But without arrangements for a secure future, 
I have some concerns.
