Since we'er all here or about, have we decided on the next meeting date?, my building is still open to hosting in the same room as before.

As an aside, I recently set up a TWiki instance on www.unc.edu for
Blackboard internal usage. It's nice because it uses perl for the
executables, stores the data in text files (instead of requiring a
database), and uses RCS/CVS for version control. It's not publically
available, but I've tried to document how I went about setting it up
in that wiki. There are still a couple of weird things with what I
did, but it seems to work pretty well.

I use Apache .htaccess files with onyen authentication, for general
access, and it is internally aware of the authenticated identity (i.e.
it shows edits as being made by "alanh"), but I haven't tried setting
up more granular permissions yet.

Adam,
Just an idea (which are cheap), but how about a wiki instead? What I'm
thinking is something that would wind up like the php manual pages, so that
users could contribute expansions and variations that worked for them.....

Good stuff! I know it comes up every three months or so, but it sure
would be nice to have some collaborative space where "unofficial" but
helpful documents of this nature could be stored, as a starting point.

It so happens my day job is maintaining the ITS knowledgebase
(http://help.unc.edu), which is a system for distributed authoring and
publication of DocBook documents. I'd be happy to take some documents
like Tim's and make them available through help.unc.edu (and elsewhere:
details available upon request), if the authors are willing.
