Agreed.... It being your space and you being kind enough to host it
for us. Much appreciated.

I grok what you are saying. We would need to ask LC to point
india.linuxchix.org to your IP address.

My query is : would it be possible to give shell access (ssh) to
maintain the wiki. Since we cant expect you to give root access to
install the wiki, etc you would have to install the same (including
the planet aggregator) and we can form a team of women to maintain
different aspects of the s/w.

@Anivar : Would you happen to know any non-profit in India that would
be willing to host LCIN?

Fwiw, some LC women have been kind enough to offer to host us but as a
local chapter its better to find volunteers within the Indian
community. So while their offer is appreciated, its a last resort just
incase we cant get things going locally. Based on the responses thus
far, that should not be a problem :)

Thoughts !
