I think we can do a more permanent install of it within this week if you get it done, since I have shell access to the wiki server. Fortunately this is easy because I can name it "index.html" and not have it conflict massively with MediaWiki. :) So, basically, I can get it done without having to wait on other things as soon as the design is finalized/approved. -- Ian Weller <[email protected]>
