[Labs-l] Labs to host wikilovesmonuments.org?

[Forrest F. Fuqua]

I support this project being hosted on a Labs VM, also I volunteer to
help keep the site/server running as well, I've done my fare share of
fast Wordpress installs, and should be able to handle any load you
throw at it (As long as the pipe doesn't fill up )
