This is really good news! Right now the ComSwiki is on a Mac cube OS9.
We're probably going to get our own server and I'll download the necessary
VM, because we plan on doing some memory-intensive sites (i.e. video clips).
Swiki's are so easy to use and we plan on having the GK12 fellows and
teachers at the Kansas City High Schools and Middle Schools upload Squeak
lesson projects and have the students upload their projects to their
designated classroom swiki.
Many Thanks!
