[DLC] website outage

[Matthew P Kemp]

Brandon,

  You hit the nail squarely on the head.  Now that I'm in the
'corporate world', and outside of academia, I've noticed even more
stringent concerns about usage of trademarks/branding/etc.  Now with
that being said... There are multiple ways that DLC could go about
hosting the site in a more "supported" manner:

1) When I left IS I know they offered hosting, but the cost was rather
high.  Teaming up with a group like Student Life and seeing if it is a
service they would like to offer through IS (I'm sure they could
easily burden the majority of the costs) might be a good approach.

2) What about CTI?  Last I heard they still had a data center of their
own.  I could put you in contact with some people over there and maybe
you can sweet talk them (or even try emailing support at cs.depaul.edu,
or whatever the address is).

Just my thoughts.
