Free hosting would definitely help a lot of people I think, especially
small online communities...and having no ads and so on would make it
golden :) - it's likely that you would be overwhelmed with the number
of users who sign up. And I think images are kind of important too ...
can't ask people to remote link all the time.

in mind that if the wiki is successful as Wikipedia is that it will use
substantial bandwidth and storage space and rapidly outgrow even the largest
single server.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] free wiki hosting?
I have a lot of spare server space and bandwidth and was considering
offering free (or cheap?) wiki hosting. It seems to me that if you don't
allow uploading of images to the wiki, and serving those images back
out, that a wiki shouldn't eat up a huge amount of bandwidth. Would such
free hosting be useful or are there already a lot of places offering
that? I wouldn't insert ads or anything annoying like that - I just like
providing community resources. Thanks.
