I host a number of large sites, including one which has done more than 4 
terabytes in a day. If we end up wanting to do stuff that's too much to do 
on a Quadra, I can put it on one of the colocated machines (which are 
also, incidentally, Macs).

We can plan details off list, but it'd be great to have a more active 
site. Perhaps a community type site would be good so that others can get 
involved. And / or a wiki for the documentation, too.

Anyone who's interested is welcome to contribute however they can!
