I've got an old laptop I ssh into for git/backup, but it's on our home 
router. This router is supplied and owned by our friendly ISP, and I 
don't know all the ins-and-outs of turning the laptop into a public 
server from behind that router (though I'm sure it could be done). The 
real challenge would be attracting a community of developers, though.

Thanks, Dan
