[12:41] ldodds: ok. how about: "we're offering a limited amount of free hosting, so people who have interesting datasets or data they want mirrored, should contact us (me) to apply; obviously this won't happen overnight, so there's likely to be a waiting list as we add capacity and work with people to make this happen. This is an experiment in getting more data online and into the platform where people can use it in new ways"
[12:42] ldodds: If questioned I can (honestly) answer that we have not set any limits on how many projects/datasets we're hosting and that we're just waiting to see what the reaction is. And that preferential treatment will be given to datasets that don't yet have a good home."
[12:42] ldodds: Oh, and make it clear that this is for open data only, with a suitable license, so no closed data sets
