+In general that sounds good.
+
+Being only a user of pastebins, I have some concerns about flexibility 
+of the width.  Normally when using a pastebin, one wants to make 
+reference to another window.  Having a pastebin with flexible width is a 
+big plus.  (Like the old wiki.)
+
+The reference you give redirects to dpaste.com, which wastes width on 
+the large left margin, as well as the fixed width of the body.
+(dpaste.com is better than pastebin.com, which has a much larger fixed 
+width.)
+
+A much better pastebin is Lodgit (paste.pocoo.org), which has small 
+left/right margins, and fully flexible width.
+Another plus is a large number of file types.  (Conveniently ranged in 
+alphabetical order.)
+They list the software used for their site at 
+http://paste.pocoo.org/about/ (near the bottom of the page).
+
+I don't know how that compares to wgetpaste or susepaste, but thought 
+you might like to consider it.
+
+Regards :)
