[ale] mass email for school and school web site

[Richard Bronosky]

You don't mention the grade level of the school, but to me it sounds
like a great professional driven student project. (I can tell you that
the school newspapers aren't really going to benefit many children.)

Regardless hosting everything onsite is probably the way to go.
Schools tend to have pretty good internet connections.

I would strongly suggest the server be set up with Xen (or OpenVZ) on
top of LVM. You can backup/clone/upgrade/replace entire VMs if the
students botch anything.
