I think it's something like $15/yr, but we only recently gained control of
our own domain and i don't have the password to that account. I'm setting
up a passpack now and will signal text the login info to a few folks. Plz
add any passwords you've stored for sudo!

$2500 is a good monthly number, but we should also do some fundraising
activities (crowdfunding, parties, fixit clinic, etc) to build up an
operating reserve fund (3 months expenses, or $7,500) and a capital reserve
fund (equivalent to operating, for improvements and necessary building
maintenance&repairs) = $15,000.
