Hi all,

Some of you might know me of the Captorials/ScreenKast project.

In short:
ScreenKast is a (KDE-based) client that captures your screen, offering the 
possibility to add commentboxes (so no audio) and do some (very basic) 
editing/exporting.
Captorials is a webservice/website that accepts recordings from ScreenKast, 
processes them and makes them available on the website for anyone to 
consultate.
The idea is/was to create a visual helpdesk, created by Linux-enthousiasts 
around the world.

In the past, I lost my interest for various reasons, but the main ones were 
financial ones. Now that I have a relative steady income and a tiny of my 
time to spare, I'd like to give the project a new start (partly because of 
interest from the community).

However, I'm looking for someone who wants to sponsor the hosting for the 
captorials webservice/website. If hardware is an issue, I've two Dell 
Poweredge servers laying here, which I'm willing to 'donate' to the project, 
assuming someone can help me out with the rackspace and uplink.
The uplink should be sufficient for a video-oriented website. I don't have any 
details on this, but I guess 5Mbit/s is a minimum requirement.

Hope to hear from someone.
