Don't worry, Tim, I run such a company and the SqF won't need to pay us for
that (at least not until it starts eating /major/ parts of our bandwidth, at
which time I think it won't be very hard to find some sponsors). I've got a
development/emergency backup server already running Swiki's
(swiki.cdegroot.com/squeakfoundation) and if there's a serious effort around a
Squeak Foundation, there's no problem in moving that to our production
machines (IBM servers with lots of RAID arrays, 24x7 pagers and other
impressive thingies ;-)).
