Guys,

You're currently hosting my project (the Lisp Resource Kit) and I'm VERY
happy with the service, bandwidth and overall professionalism.

Anyway, the ALU, along with the local user groups are looking for a
place to  host videos of various Lisp-geek demos and presentations. 
Presently the ALU lacks the bandwidth to host such items and I was
wondering of you guys would be up for it.

Expected usage would be 2 100MB uploads/month, ~30 downloads/month (3GB)
for about 3GB storage/year.

What are your thoughts on this?  Do you have any bandwidth caps?

Wow, on behalf of everyone involved: thanks! :-)

Yes, of the benign anti-{slashdotting|DoS} type. Currently our
cap is 220Gb/month, simply because 200 is included in the hosting
package, and the extra 20 is what I planed to afford. We currently use
around 27 GB a month, and it is growing. A decent percentage of this
BW use is backups, probably.

So there is bandwidth for the movies. Storage is another issue,
though. We have enough for a year, I gather.

I sugest the following: we do it, and keep an eye on BW and disk
usage. If it gets out of control, we ponder what to do then (after
eventually getting them off the net, lest we trigger a shortage of
SLIME).

We could host the movies as a project - or we could also think of
something else...

Regards,
        Mario.

I'm pleased you're interested.  

I'm also thinking of a worse-case-scenario, we get /.-ed and blow the
bandwidth out the window.  Other than the obvious answer of removing the
videos, what happens?  Is the bandwidth capped or will just a nice-fat
bill going to show up in the mail?

In that case, I think it would be completely appropiate for the ALU to
spring for an additional 220GB of bandwidth.  Any idea on the costs
associated with that?  Also who's your hosting provider?

The bandwidth is capped. A bill shows up through the mail, but it is a
moderate one (for the excess 20GB).

Our hosting provider is STRATO GmbH. I at least am satisfied.

I will contact you OOB wrt the costs.

        Mario.

I have a project almost ready to release, xml-psyciatrist. It is a
powerful XML validator written entirely in Common Lisp that makes DTDs
and Schemas look weak and verbose. The source code and manual are
almost ready to go (I'm still waiting for feedback on the draft of the
manual).

It will be run by existing user pscott.

Sounds very good. What License do you plan to use?

        Mario

P.S: Nice name :-)
