Ivo et all,

If there will be a slashdot or digg effect it will be very hard to stay 
alive.

However the foundation hosting this project has had some slashdot 
effects happening over the last years and the corresponding sites 
survived and actually did pretty well. Although these were hosted on 
different servers than the one we're using.

So basically my answer would be: I don't know.

Personally I wouldn't worry too much about it. If it happens it happens 
and we'll try to cope with it. For now lets focus on making the site better
