Dear Engr.Rudra Nevatia, > Mumbai,India
Thank you for nice assessment of the e-mail of Engr.James Cohen, PE ,USA.
After Eq-conference I shall take up the funding issue with SEFI authorities with constructive ideas to make it prosperous and resourceful as this is a question of development of effective communication system like Yahoo.
Meanwhile I shall request every one concerned to respond and contribute genereously to Prof.S.K Jain's appeal for ' FUND RAISING PROGRAM' in order to pull out from present situation of fund problem as this is our forum.
Regards.
Engr.Sikandar Hayat Siddiqi Project & Seismic Design Management Engineer & Co-ordinator,Earthquake Anti-disaster Defence Management System Initiative (EADMSI)

Of course, having your own .org or .com gives you a lot more leeway. I maintain my web site on a shoe string budget of less than Rs. 4000 per year on a commercial web server in the US with not so insignificant 50,000 hits per year, 20% of which are from India.
Please allow me to offer some suggestions.
A simpler site design has several advantages. It loads fast and consumes less band width. Graphics (specially .jpg variety) take up unnecessary bandwidth. Accessing SEFI site used to take so long on my old Pentium 75 and MTNL connection that I could not sign up till I switched over to Pentium 4 and cable.
The number of subscibers (928), posts (2038), and visitors (15118) to date since 26th Jan 2002 do not seem to be very high figures. Most probably, a bare minimum package from a web host costing $8 to $10 per month should suffice.
It will be a good idea to keep track of how resources are being consumed by analyzing access log. There are several free utilities available for this purpose. Webalizer is most popular.
Now there are options other than emails for discussion groups. Wiki as a collaborative platform is gaining popularity.
Just some random thoughts.
Regards, Rudra Nevatia
