That would be excellent.
The only ongoing cost would be £6 per year to keep the domain name.
The content of the current website (and it's previous wiki incarnation), which was excellent in its day but is now mostly obsolete, can be archived onto paper tape or whatever the trendy storage medium is these days.
As the current web/hostmaster, I will be more than happy to hand over control to someone new when a decision has been made.
I don't think I ever took over complete control of the mailing list -- one Adrian Bridgett has that honour, as I recall. I do have an administrative password for it though.
Cheers,
Chris
