on webspace, wiki and stuff (was Re: A Collaboration on Shafer's Books?)

[Andre Garzia]

I'll offer webspace and wiki hosting for you folks at WeCode.org for 
free, also, I'll host any rev project that needs a host. The server is 
on jaguarpc.net and got Rev and LibCGI (plus some additions of mine) 
already installed. The domain and host are already paid for some 
months....

I think those interest in helping Dan should talk to him, his book is 
marvelous and I own three copies of volume 1, one besides the computer 
to remind me that computing can be fun, one at the shelf (this copy is 
the one that will survive ages) and other in the backpack with the 
laptop!!!!

but I really think we could at least setup a FAQ Server with interfaces 
for RevNET... if you want, I can implement this in about five hours.

Cheers
andre
