OK, I can confirm EDB have space, power and willingness to manage and
I'll put time in to make sure this is managed as a community resource,
with equal access. Operator cover should be possible 24x7 to allow
global access, but with a proviso of reasonable efforts, rather than the
"best efforts" you'd expect on a pay-for support contract.

EDB should also be able to put money in to get some reasonable external
disks, but I won't put a figure on it here. Josh, I'd appreciate it if
you could pass the hat round a little bit?

The T2000 would be physically located in secured premises at EDB in New
Jersey, with appropriate firewalls etc..

How does all of that sound?
