Great to hear from you!

Well then, first things first:

How big of a segment per hostship?

How long of a hosting?

How to organize the rota?

Suggestion:

5 pages? In case others join there would be plenty of segments; yet 5 pages
is bound to have a week’s worth of idea prompts, isn’t it?

One week?

Alphabetical by first name?
(Puts David Morris first, if that’s okay, Dave?)


Soliciting other ideas, then we could vote (or do aleatory choosing with
coins or other paraphernalia)
