Re: [libreoffice-website] updated infrastructure calculation

Thanks, I was hoping that was the case.

I do not have any "true" Network Attached Storage device that is not a 
server plus drive[s].  I could use them, but the costs for a fixed 
income person is, well let us say that adding internal SATA drives and 
USB drives are more withing my budget than a "true" NAS set of devices.  
It would help with my backups and having access to my data from all my 
systems [desktop, laptop, tablet] visa the wired and secured wireless 
network.

How much storage is needed for the TDF/LO "network" of devices for 
online access though the different web pages.  I know that the 
"http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/"; section of the storage 
needs could be 4+ GB per release version [alpha, beta, RC, or final 
release]  That adds up really fast over the release cycle.  Then there 
are all of the other files stored on TDF/LO servers that are a part of 
the Wiki pages and such.  Then there is the . . .  Then there is the . . 
. .

I think it would do "us" good if we could be given a grant to double or 
quad the amount of storage that TDF/LO currently uses. Maybe then it 
would last another 2 years +/- before more is needed.
