Running own joomla Initial setup took a while, but I worked / perfected it while the old site stayed up. Normal weekly maintenance is around 30 minutes, obviously start of school year is different story. Of course if you have time and are in to website development it could probably take up a 1/5 of your week, but that isn't necessary. Dell poweredge 1750 w/ maybe 2 gig of ram on win 2003, not fancy by any means Addon's purchased: about $100 (1 roombooker and the prof. docman) http://www.nokomis.k12.il.us
