I've been opting for the daily batch so my replies will be a little
delayed. I have sd.ubuntu-us.org and it just points at my own server.
That would be one option.

On the other hand: My site, is driven by Launchpad teams. If you are in
the ~ubuntu-southdakota team, you can post comments and do a few things.
~ubuntu-southakota-editors means you can edit just about all content.
~ubuntu-southdakota-admins is everything.

To do this, I am using the Launchpad OpenID modules. I've packaged the
latest stable releases with the ubuntu-drupal project.

Using this package would allow just about all the access you need and
keep it dependent on Launchpad instead. I'm assuming we can all agree
Launchpad is easy enough for user management?

I'm one of the coders to these modules so I believe I would be a huge
benefit to you guys if you wanted to set this up.

Personally, my vote is for #1. Canonical servers for an Ubuntu site just
seems right, and official.

I think we could have their servers pull down ssh keys for every user in
an admin team as well. Cron task to check users, cat keys-for-each-user
> > .ssh/authorized_keys2. Of course this would mean the same user for
all. I'm not exactly sure how Canonical manages users, but making a
script like that seems pretty easy. I could do it myself if there was an
ubuntu-us user on there that we could access.

Of course I'm not an admin and I probably wouldn't see this work really
implemented, but I am willing to help.
