I could handle the hardware issues and I expect the wiki traffic is not very band width intensive, but the bad news is that I cannot host the wiki on port 80 as my ISP restricts it without a commercial connection. That would mean a commercial phone line and and more, a big increase in expense.
Note the URL of my file server for instance - the 8888 http://opensourcevista.net:8888/NancysVistAServer/ The VA will not allow connections to it on their browser from inside the firewall. I am guessing the nonstandard port is blocked. So I suspect it would not be a good idea for me to host it for that reason alone.

Any ideas what other computer that could be? Would you have any available hardware/bandwidth, Nancy?
