Got a stripped down apache server installed on a new boxen. P166 with 128 Mb and 12 Gb. Should handle initial web serving requirements in an exemplary fashion. Next trick is to get an open source wiki installed and working. Downside .... going to have to learn vi or emacs to administer the box or else reinstall to include freex86 ???? probably got that designation wrong, it looks wrong.
Probably should also download myproject to my desktop and use it to plan this project out rather than passively waiting for others evaluation of it. Could do the initial plan in Microsoft Projects on my portable for refresher and to allow concentration on actual planning and then duplicate it or something close on myprojects to see how it works while refining the initial plan for detailed implementation feasibility.
On the slightly blasphemous side ...... found a book advertised online "The Wiki Way: Quick Collaboration on the Web" by Bo Leuf and Ward Cunningham which the advertisement claims has working code for all example wikis discussed in the book and the components they depend upon. IIS and perl are specifically mentioned ...... since we have this combination already installed and working and Ray (my twin) has expressed interest ...... some backsliding may be impending.
If Ray decides to take over adminstration of the wiki and web server (not a trivial possibility, never let a real technician in on a project you wish to soldier on occasionally) I would be free to do product development and organizational setup. I know some artists and where to find some musicians. Maybe start with a space theme in art to discourage casual plagiarizers and shift gears to the big money in music when the bugs are out.
Besides an initial focus on artwork would provide rationale to recover a high performance dual for a 3DSMax station. It would not take much to provoke Ray into building a new powerhouse for his self study Microsoft Network environment ...... those guys are resource hogs! I could live with an obsolete server for a graphics workstation for a while ..... the max license is also obsolete and should emulate a high performance modern graphics workstation just fine for production of stills and small clips.
