<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
Why not <a href="http://be.openstreetmap.org" target="_blank">be.openstreetmap.org</a> + <a href="http://be.osm.org" target="_blank">be.osm.org</a> and generalize this to
other countries?<br>
Even as alias if other names already exist, that would be a no
cost, no hassle, no search consistent solution.<br>
Quite possible, because their current sub-domains are only:<br>

I suppose it's a "just ask" matter.<br>
<br>
Why not ask free hosting at a Geographic faculty of one
University?<br>
People in Liège are very kind. I worked at ULg and I may try to
introduce <a href="http://osm.be" target="_blank">osm.be</a> if needed.<br>
<br>
I'm perfectly happy with a <a href="http://www.byethost.com/" target="_blank">byethost.com</a>
server.<br>
Especially, even with my <b>free</b><b> account</b>, I can access
my server's files as if they were local (in my local filesystem).<br>
(That's using gvfs-ftp)<br>
For 4 (250B/m) to 7 (unlimited) $/m, their technical specs are
impressive<br>
Any local site building software is OK. Please choose Win-Debian
Linux-OS X software if you share an account.<br>
<br>
The only two "problems" I ever met were:<br>
- they closed my site a few times for bogus reasons; the real one
is that they were trying to have me pay.<br>
- I was receiving a bad reputation mark from <a href="http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/papou.byethost7.com" target="_blank">WOT</a>.
Those guys are out of their mind: look carefully and you'll see
that they attribute me the reputation of another site, that "<span>Good site: Other users consider
this site trustworthy, and it has a good reputation based on
user ratings"</span> and that, in consequence, my
Trustworthiness is Unsatisfactory.<br>
But I moved to <a href="http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/byethost9.com" target="_blank">another
hostname</a> and the problem was gone (same provider, just a
matter of chance, isn't WOT mad?).<br>
Note: that if a site is not accessed (at all) for two months (very
difficult to do but I managed ;-), you only have two days after a
warning to refresh it. But, again, I suspect it's a manœuvre to
have you pay to get your data back if you don't.<br>
<br>
Cheers,,

There are lost of extensions for Joomla.<br>

Instead of hardware, why not use the services of a hosting

<div>Thanks. Could you contact him to ask ?<br>

I propose to start considering to setup a Belgian OSM
site in Dutch, French, English and German if we have
enough people to translate in German. <br>
<br>
</div>
Would Drupal be appropriate to setup such a multilingual
site ? Do anyone of us know Drupal (or any other easy and
well know tool that would do the job) or mediawiki ?<br>
<br>

It should be noted that, while <a href="http://osm.be" target="_blank">osm.be</a> isn't "in the hands" of
the OSM community, <a href="http://openstreetmap.be" target="_blank">openstreetmap.be</a>
is. It currently redirects to <a href="http://openstreetmap.org" target="_blank">openstreetmap.org</a>,
but I don't think the owner would be against setting
up an actual website if the infrastructure is
provided.<br>

Dear Mr Huys,<br>

According to DNS.be, you own <a href="http://osm.be" target="_blank">osm.be</a> that does not
