If you can manage the website (i.e. free labor) then the cost is minimal. It's less than $100 per year to keep a domain ($10-$20/yr) and web host ($50-$80) running. I can donate toward that if you or someone in the community will manage the website itself. This is something we need to do ourselves. Our big partners aren't going to do it.
An easier option is to buy Friction's website so a new site doesn't have to be designed from scratch, but it's a one time acquisition. Did he ever give you a price?
No, Friction is not gonna be too reasonable when it comes to money. And We don't need another IXC domain.
The problems isn't the maintenance cost, I can pay that. The problem is the required skill to build it and manage it, as I don't possess that skill-set.
