Hi Marko, Implications? A life sentence... ;) Take a look at the wiki I set up at http://aluwiki.tentpost.com Its on stable hosting (I've had the account for a few years); but its shared hosting (underpowered if editing were to pick up). When this wiki starts getting sufficient content, I'll ask the ALU about domain/hosting options. Someone else would need to administer Java/Confluence; but I think I understand Apache/MediaWiki.
