I'm not sure I care enough to fight that side of things (LFGSS costs) at the moment. I suspect I'll throw it on credit card, wait until it stabilises and then will see whether I've come out behind, about the same or ahead (and if ahead, LFGSS CIC can have it as a donation).

were does this leave LFGSS?

Running on some open-source code.

Long-term either I consider an export route if the open-source project doesn't get any volunteers beside myself or Matt (it would need to be half-viable).

Or if it works open-source, then I'd probably look to change the code so that instead of the focus being "run an enormous platform with thousands of sites" it was a leaned a bit more towards "run a small platform for tens of sites".

That's the difference between thinking of writing the export tool from here, or thinking of how to remove the dependency on the management web apps that configure and work with the backend. There was necessary complexity in building for a larger platform.
