Wampum

Those of you looking for extra-jurisdictional hosting, in Canada or Mexico, the European Union, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, ... leave a note in comments. I'm moving Wampum, and I'll be happy to share what I already know about hosting service providers and colo (self-hosting) providers.

Keep in mind what extra-jurisdictional hosting does mean -- your colo or hosting provider won't receive a covert warrentless "national security letter", your provider won't receive a federal, or state subpoena, and your provider's network provider(s) won't have a black tap and back-haul to an undisclosed location for real-time "sampling".

There will still be illegal intercept, but it will occur only in the US, were writers and readers are unable to use networks except those in which illegal intercept has been accomplished by force majeure.

I've been hosting Wampum, the Koufax Awards, and intermittently, some other blogs, along with the Draft Gore 2008 site, and some other campaigns (with actual candidates!!!) on the Wampumpeag servers for several years -- a mix of Movable Type, Wordpress, Mediawiki, Drupal, ...

Another area to consider as a change in how we write and read is whether we use public encryption to re-assert a right of personal and political privacy.
