Thanks for your support!

Initially, we=E2=80=99re talking about:

  1. One big server, along the lines of 8 cores, 32G of RAM, and a fast
     4T drive (around 4=E2=80=935k=E2=82=AC maybe?).

  2. Hosting, which needs to be figured out more precisely, but could be
     in the 0=E2=80=932k=E2=82=AC range per year depending on what we choos=
e.

That=E2=80=99s the back-of-the-envelope calculation.

What do people think?
