A request:
You'll see there are fundraiser blog posts being linked from the
sitenotice. We could really do with one about the technical structure,
the *remarkable* feat we manage of running this site on nearly nothing
and the fact that more money = better service.
Is there anyone who knows the structure well enough to describe it
simply and has time to write something quickly? Presumably someone
should stick around for the "why don't you ..." questions in the
comments.
BTW, Erik's written a very nice (and long) one about the social and
software structure today:

One for the geeks of the world may be of great interest. Also most
suitable for Slashdotting.
