My organization is hosting Tracks for free and intends to keep it that way. We are rolling out a site and some modifications but there have been a few hosts sprouting up recently and we would like to get this out to the public. If you would like a free account please navigate to:
http://tracks.brightpool.com
The name will be changed shortly and there will be new features and supporting documentation.
If you have an existing Tracks install and would like to move to a hosted model please contact brightpool_at_gmail.com and we can help you move your data.
Regards,

Thanks, Kevin, might be nice to hand of the admin tasks to somebody else.
