2008 Website
It's really up to luddite (or whoever ends up hosting it this year) to decide what they want to do for a website. I have, however, started throwing a few ideas around as far as design goes. Here's what I've come up with so far:
http://~tl.co.uk/temp/rc2008/
The text is just a placeholder, I copied it from the page I made up for last years challenge. Again, of course, it's up to the host to decide on the design they want to use.
I guess it'd be a good idea to have a final page in place by Christmas time at the latest, so we can start promoting next years 'challenge fairly early.
As for hosting and bandwidth, neither are a problem.

are you talking about the actual retrochallenge or a winter play around?
anyway tho - all it takes for a winter play around is for somebody to say 'i will do it' and its a go-er!
i suppose a who would be 'IN' list would make a start if fok want to play after xmas. last year luddites ran through jan with no rules at all, just participation.
anyone?
for the clear head space i will say 'i,m IN!'

yeah - but i think his idea was to get the 2008 summer game up by winter ready for the summer - promotion and all that.
i think nahuelmarisi was thinking about hosting or trying to get somebody to host a wee play around within the forum for after xmas - i think that was where he was coming from anyway.
I've already arbitrarily announced the informal "Winter Warm-up" on the RetroBBS. I guess you guys weren't paying attention ;-)
Anyway, we'll go from Jan 1 to Jan 31st... as usual there will be no rules/prizes/theme or anything -- just do whatever turns your crank and keep everyone abreast of your progress. I'll announce the URL here when I get time to set it up.
As far as the proposed RC web page goes... I like it very much. Seems to be pretty unanimous, so I suggest we just "go with it"

Well, in case anyone hasn't noticed, there's now a website up for the 2008 winter warmup:

Cheers to luddite for getting it all sorted!
