The problem with that approach is that the general consensus on
<tlug-admin@example.com> is that we should not deploy services on Hikari
until they have proven to be something that TLUGgers want.

Deploying beta services on a TLUG test "server" is a good way to gauge
interest in a specific thing. If no-one uses it, it does not get
promoted to Hikari. If everyone uses it, chances are we will deploy it
on Hikari.

Especially since Mauro and I will be the ones admin-ing the test
server, so it will not be a problem to keep the data generated during
the "beta" if we do decide to move it to Hikari.
