I have ordered another server from Hetzner last week and am awaiting details
from them. Once this server is up and running we can get going with the
Roundup installation and setting up of trackers.

I am travelling at the moment after attending the Plone Conference in
Seattle last week. I will be back in South Africa next week so I might
not be as responsive as you would like me to be. I do check mail every
second day and will let you know as soon as Hetzner gives me the access
details for the server.
