</div>What training or assistance do you need? While the request for LA support<br>
appears to have stalled there is still the possibility of LA members helping<br>
out on their own. If you give us more details about what you need then maybe<br>
we can do something without involving LA.<br>

<br>
</div>What hardware/bandwidth do you need? If you need hosting and it doesn't have<br>
to be in PNG then that's easy to arrange. I can probably give you a virtual<br>
machine with plenty of disk space and bandwidth in Germany if that would help<br>
you, contact me off-list if that would be helpful.<br>
