Anyone interested in helping out with bitcoin.org? We need someone who has the time and skill to optimize and manage a high-traffic server. The server should be made to easily withstand slashdotting and other major news coverage. We're currently running a LAMP on a Rackspace VPS, but the hosting can be changed if necessary.
It's fine if you want to do only the optimization part, but maintenance help is also very welcome. If you're interested, please post here or send me a PM to tell me about your experience, optimization ideas and how much time you have to spare.
Back in 2005 I had a small LAMP webserver running on an antique (at the time; now it's just a worthless archaeological relic) Pentium 166 when it got slashdotted. It held up perfectly well despite running WordPress. I have a clue or two, though I'm not going to make any statements about how many years of experience I have. It's enough that the actual number is largely irrelevant.
I also run the webserver for a US talk radio show which runs Drupal, WordPress, (yes both of them) Shoutcast, SMF and MediaWiki. On a VPS. And its forum is even bigger than this one.
Also doing bind, nginx, git, and a bunch of other stuff I've completely forgotten about (and probably maintain in my sleep).
The real question is, are you paying in bitcoins?
EDIT: Oh, I should also note, I know how to "undelete" SMF users. Had to do that once before, too.
