She shoots...she scores. :) We need PHP and MySQL; probably 10 GB of space would get us going - although, if we make page scans available (which I think we should), the storage requirements will increase a lot. (I'd be willing to kick in the cost of a drive to help subsidize this when the time comes.) I'd like to run PmWiki (http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Requirements), which is powering our current wiki at http://www.jenzed.com/pgcawiki/pmwiki.php - it's really lightweight. I'd also like to run a CMS - maybe Drupal (http://www.drupal.org/), although I'm still not sure if that's the best fit for PG-CA. Drupal (and probably most CMSs) will require some "special" MySQL permissions - like the ability for users to do a LOCK TABLE. (The main reason I've hit the wall with my personal retail web space provider - and therefore don't know if Drupal will work for us - is that they won't allow this permission to be granted to users.) I completely understand your reservations regarding bandwidth. I suspect and hope, though, that when (if) our bandwidth demands get too big, it'll mean we're big enough to get sponsors. thx! jen.

Let me know what is needed. I can offer to help get things started under the understanding that if bandwidth gets too high then we'd need to look for other sponsors (funding, bandwidth, whatever).
I currently run a number of related sites... Most of the volunteer stuff can be seen at http://newdelhi.flora.ca/

Does anyone know anyone in a position to donate web hosting to us? I'd like to move forward on getting permanent space - my personal sandbox is getting kind of cramped, and I'm annoyed at the big, dumb, mass-volume hosting company I'm working with. We need Linux, PHP, MySQL - the usual stuff.
