Do wikis present any particular problems for servers
hosting them ? I
ask because I don't own the servers that host the soundapps sites, and I
certainly would not want to risk losing the good will of the providers.
For those of you who don't know, Matt Probst maintains the US server,
the folks at ATNET in Austria host the European site, and Kenji Yasaka
provides the Japanese mirror. They have all donated the server space,
bless their heads, and I want to be sure I don't screw with their security.
While I agree that a Wiki will provide the best option for the pages in
the long term, they still require quite some time to set up everything
correctly especially with some plain-html mirror sites.
If you want to make a quick start I would suggest you put your pages
into a cvs server, with a closed user base where people can make
changes. Then you can add a little cron job on your web servers which
checkout the cvs regularily. If there's nothing to update, that should
not consume too much traffic (and I think an update every few hours
should suffice).
If you don't have any CVS running yet, I could/would donate an cvs
server which is located in Germany and decently connected (but as the
cvs server must not be the web server, that should be no real bottleneck).
