My take on this is that the document proper should be hostable anywhere that has a web server.. specific parts like your TIA chart that require database/whatever backend support should be considered a separate document, to be linked to by the static HTML stelladoc.. > I have migrated my TIA colors and sound tables to GameDevelopers.net, so at > least I'm in a good position to generate new views or web-based utilities > (think search engines and sortable register lists) around the 2600 hardware. > Once again we'd run into the problem that only one person has the ability to make updates... perhaps we really should make this a Source Forge project? sourceforge.net accounts are free, and multiple developers can have access to the web space and CVS tree... and CVS has a lot of advantages over having a human being try to merge different versions updated by different people... > We may want to think some more about what we want this to one day become, > and scale accordingly. I wish my employer still let me keep a server in the colo rack. I used to have the ability to host anything you could host on a sparc 10... Even using a sourceforge project to manage this, isn't really ideal.. VA Linux (owner/operators of sourceforge.net) could go out of business or decide to cut back on the free stuff to tighten up their budget. Ideally, we need a server sitting somewhere that belongs to one of the regular list members... Or at least access to a box running CVS and a web server, at minimum. A database would be nice, so would the ability to run our own perl/php/coldfusion/whatever scripts...
