I don't know if I'd want to keep the converter on Mozdev considering its shaky stability. If it's hosted elsewhere then at times like this that Mozdev is not available then at least the converter is still running instead of all the resources being down. Anyway, considering the low server requirements for the converter, this is not really needed, at least not in the closest foreseeable future.

Again, I don't want to host anything on mozillaZine nor expand the site. The only expansion I'm thinking of would be to ask the admin to point the DNS of a subdomain, say - addonconverter.mozillazine.org - to another server and that's it. I think it would be great if the converter's URL were under a domain that is more or less stable and associated with one of the 'big guy' SM-friendly sites. I could then open source the converter's code to github so that it's guaranteed not to be lost due to various things that might happen in the future.
