So far I have set up only two appservers, one is my main one and the second one is a dev one, but I could see how this can get out of hand quickly. Currently at work we are operating under the model where we have a single appserver with muyltiple contexs in it, I am in the process of making each context (or related group of contexes) its own appserver. At work I think I am going to end up with about 4 or 5 app servers running, so there is going to be alot to keep track of.

I am trying to get it running on a windoze box, but I don't think that should cause a problem. Anyway I would really love to hear your experience getting the wiki running Jose > Sorry for the long post. Quite obviously, I'm also a fresh new user of > Webware and Python.
