[joe-frank-list] JFWiki status?

[Beau Gunderson]

I'm happy to help import the database and setup the site if we can use
joefrank.com, and I'm also happy to provide free hosting for jfwiki or
anything else Joe Frank-related (I pay to host my own personal
projects, it's a virtual machine hosted at linode.com with plenty of
space).
