We should make the "funded by" a link to the website of those that pay.

finally getting back to this after a week of solid straight meetings :-) thanks for the comments @betatim! This push adds more content to the page after some conversations I had with folks who had more questions about this. It also updates the links in the federation list so that they go to different "run by" and "funded by" pages! Here's a link to the built page: https://348-89419368-gh.circle-artifacts.com/0/html/federation/federation.html |

| Joining the BinderHub Federation |

This title and the next one are "the same", at least they are too similar to make it clear what the difference between them is. Maybe we could call this a FAQ section or "Points to consider when thinking about joining" (needs a shorter version).

I'd remove this paragraph and instead put some of the info in the next one which I think should be the lead one as it answers the question "what is this federation you speak of?"

How about the following:
Behind mybinder.org is a federation of BInderHubs. This means that there are several independent hubs that each serve a fraction of the traffic created by people clicking links pointing to mybinder.org. Anyone (a company, university or individual) is welcome to deploy a BinderHub that forms part of the federation.'
Adding a new hub to the federation requires a mix of two kinds of resources: compute and human power to operate the hub. The two extremes of this mixture are:
- you donate compute power that the mybinder.org team has full control over which means you don't have to be involved in day to day operations, or
- you donate compute power over which the mybinder.org team does not have full control which means you are also responsible for day to day operations.

sorry for dropping off on this one, I got sucked into a black hole of talks and tutorials :-) I think I addressed each of @betatim's comments - lemme know what you think, or if other changes should be made! |
This adds a page to list the federated BinderHubs that are powering mybinder.org, with the idea that it can be expanded over time. It should be a way for us to highlight how Binder is a network of deployments rather than a single one, as well as a way for others to highlight their contributions to the BinderHub network.
Eventually we may want this page in a different place than the binderhub docs, but this is a start to iterate on!
Here's how it looks: https://314-89419368-gh.circle-artifacts.com/0/html/federation/federation.html
