Give me a few. I previously offered to pay for a year of hosting. Might
as well do it now, then we can point ubuntu.sg to it. For the short
term, we can ask XP to set up a basic redirection page there. When time
permits, we can expand it to a real site.
One thing I said earlier was probably in error: you can not point
ubuntu.sg to the wiki via DNS, since that is a directory on
wiki.ubuntu.com. AFAIK, DNS does not handle "domain.name/directoryname".
Some one please correct me if I am wrong on that.
Cheers
David
