Re: hosting the wiki

Thanks.
I do not mind setting it up, but getting permission to install some required extra packages on the server was the deal-breaker that finally stopped us from hosting this wiki on Hamakor server last time.

Current configuration of the wiki uses apache + mod_php + MySql (recent versions - I'm not sure what's the minimal requirement). It would be easiest to restore it into a similar environment.
I'll need an account with permissions to set them up (system root if extra packages need to be installed, permissions for apache config for the vhost/redirections, mysql root for creating the python_il account/database/tables).
Also we have to check if the response time is not much worse than current hosting (Ireland. I think Andy's hosting was also in Europe)

If you really do not mind the extra space/bandwidth and extra trustee for such configurations, I'll take that. Otherwise, we can revert to a micro node as Yishai suggested.

Amit,

DreamHost is a shared hosting provider. They already have apache and mysql installed with mod_php. It's not a bare system. And you can't get root. They do give you access to a single database and space mapped to whatever you want in apache.

If you can't handle setting up a wiki under these conditions (which is very doable) then I don't have another good solution.
