But,

The agents won't be built on software objects, right?

Just asking...

How about some Second Life real estate for the complex?

That way, when you're sitting in the virtual complex, an agent model can 
be running around you in the same room.  :-)

Re: [FRIAM] Hosting + CMS?

[Alfredo CV]

Certainly, Mambo and Joomla CMSs are so easy to customize.
Modules and Components can be easily built and thanks to the
recently incorporated OOP capabilities in PHP, these CMSs are becoming
powerful and easy tools. I don't know how to customize drupal an
other CMS included in Fantastico (nice word, ah!,  Fantástico )  but it 
must be so simple too,

finally all of them are made in PHP.

Would be nice if somebody develops a CMS in Python or in Ruby.
¿Why not, why not?.  Sure they already exist.

Has all the usual stuff: php, perl, mysql, etc..

I find their support staff to be very responsive and have had no
problems with them in the 3 or so years I've used them.

Also:, inexpensive.

Does anyone have suggestions and/or experiences?

One system I'm particularly interested in is Joyent (who bought
TextDrive), which has built a really interesting system on Ruby on
Rails + Open Solaris.  They clearly have their heart in the right
place (support open source, make their own code open source, and even
give away free accounts), but I'm not yet sure if they'd fall down in
some areas we'll need.

Re: [FRIAM] Hosting + CMS?

[Robert Cordingley]

Owen,

For a commercial service I use Network Solutions (NS).  They have 24x7 
live support.  You can check out their basic hosting packages at:


http://www.networksolutions.com/web-hosting/compare.jsp?showBuyNow=true

I notice they offer the open source tools of WordPress, Gallery and 
Tikiwiki as well as offering Blog tools and ImageCafe to build your own 
web site without coding HTML.  I haven't tried out any of these but am 
using their PHP and MySql in my current 'Web2.0' project.  NS are one of 
the domain name registrars too so you may also get a free domain name 
with an account.  For about $120/yr it seems a good deal to me.  If you 
get into capacity problems there's some serious upgrade options.


Here's what their site says about TikiWiki:

Tiki CMS/Groupware (Tikiwiki) is a powerful open-source Content 
Management System (CMS) and Groupware that can be used to create Web 
Applications, Sites, Portals, Intranets and Extranets. Major features 
include articles, forums and newsletters. You can use Tikiwiki as a 
forums site, a chatroom, for poll taking, customer support site and much 
more...  For additional information on Tikiwiki, visit: 
http://www.tikiwiki.org .


Thanks and good luck in your search.
Robert
PS Separately I sent you an invite from my NS account to your 
backspaces.net account. R

Re: [FRIAM] Hosting + CMS?

[Alfredo CV]

Maybe it's what you are looking for. Is one of the choices I'm
considering to change my current hosting service. Furthermore
it's not expensive.

http://www.a2hosting.com/

Server run on Linux not in Solaris but offers:

Ruby & Rails
Perl / CGI-BIN
PHP 5   
Zend Optimizer
Python (CGI) 
SQLite 3.x   
SQL Databases: MySQL and/or PostgreSQL
SSI (Server Side Include)   
SSL (128-bit encryption)
Shell Access (SSH)
   


They also have Mambo, Drupal, Joomla and other PHP built on CMS.

One thing we discussed over lunch a week or so ago - how about hosting it
yourself? You'll probably be able to identify and repair problems faster
than the typical ISP's customer (non-)service. Plus you get to use whatever
open-source CMS you like (Joomla, Drupal etc) without any constraint imposed
by the ISP.
