    In response to some of the emails that were generated when I was looking
    for a personal 1U dedicated server, a new list has been formed. The
    information is below if anyone is interested. I'm still very happy with
    my service at snsonline.net, but I see this as a possible fun little
    side project:

    The net-co-op mailing list (coop at net-co-op.org) is now up.

    To subscribe:

    Email coop-subscribe at net-co-op.org

    or go to

    http://www.net-co-op.org/mailman/listinfo/coop

    Suggested topics for the new coop (koop?) list:

    1) Physical co-location co-ops like http://www.communitycolo.net/ or
    http://wampumpeag.net/vixie-personal-1U-colo.html - do you have a server
    co-located in one? Would you like to? Are you interested in starting
    something similar in your own city?

    2) Virtual co-ops: We don't need no stinkin' brick and mortar. What
    can we do with a distributed group of personal servers? Basic things
    like secondary DNS and MX come to mind, but I think we can also look at
    more advanced possibilities. Would we want to make a standardized
    net-co-op looking glass script that volunteers would run? Could we
    monitor each others servers? If we get enough servers on diverse
    networks, could this health monitoring be extended to be a poor mans
    Internet monitoring system? Would we mirror each others personal
    websites? How about DNS round robins to load balance mirrored content?
      Would we want to host sites for charities? Etc.

    3) Personal Server Co-location. See http://www.vix.com/personalcolo/

    4) Community building: Part of establishing all this will require us to
    get to know each other, so basic chat is encouraged. If the chatting
    becomes too much for one list, I'll create a second list and coop will
    remain the operational list. Please post an introduction when you
    subscribe.
