Lastly, I think hardware alone is not enough. We need a fulltime professional systems administrator with direct access to the machines. Within a $100K budget that is certainly viable. If Brion wants a new job, I'd say he should be immediately offered this opportunity.
I agree. It should be full time, because an event based model would cause the conspiracy heads to suspect the paid admins to manufacture problems. :)
I also think there should be a part time position for someone doing some of the work Jimbo is doing today. The routine part of coordination.
