Hi All,<br><br>After much delay, things are finally starting to line up.<br><br>I have to thank Jan for being patient and persistent, who kept asking as I pushed this along. I&#39;ve recently re-confirmed WM-DE&#39;s generous offer to cover the cost of the Server.<br>
<br>Now, bring on the projects!! :)<br><br>I&#39;m going to have a busy week upcoming, but I&#39;ll stick handle things forward as far as I can as quickly as I can. I&#39;m settling up the finance portion with the hosting company. Once we have a few projects ready to go, I&#39;ll get the technical stuff there and start handing out accounts.<br>
<br>Ok, so if your interested, you might ask: What is a &quot;project&quot;?<br><br>It&#39;s anything that is computer-related (and hopefully learning related) which can accompany or accommodate wiki-based resources.<br><br>
My original idea here was for users of something like a Wikiversity C language course. This allows people to write, compile, and try out programs without needing to have a full development environment locally.<br><br>Others have suggested things like Moodle and other CMS projects. What else? Only your mind is the limitations.<br>
<br>Now, if you have a great idea for a project, there is one catch -- our gracious hosts (WM-DE) have requested a monthly status report on hosted projects. So, we do need some feedback about what&#39;s going on and what&#39;s coming up in your project. The idea is that they want to know what&#39;s being done with their money -- and they&#39;ve assured me that what they want isn&#39;t overly onerous.<br>
<br>Want to sign up right now? For the next week or two, feel free to send me a note. Once we&#39;ve got things worked out, I&#39;ll post a WikiLink and we&#39;ll have some signup webpages in the next little while.<br><br>
Thanks to all who have helped to make this possible,<br>Gerald<br>
