Could we use a hosted confluence service and perhaps offer other services to our participants for their development projects as well, such as Jira and Greenhopper?<br><br>Many companies offer these as hosted services.<br><br><br>

<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>My main concern is that we would need to go from using the<BR>
shared-hosting solution that DreamHost offers to a more self-managed<BR>
virtual private server (or host the server somewhere else). That means<BR>
more of someone's time spent playing sysadmin for OpenSFS.<BR>
<BR>
I am not opposed to Confluence. But MediaWiki better matches the level<BR>
of effort I'm currently willing to devote to the Wiki.<BR>
<BR>
The again, MediaWiki could become a moot point (or at least its ease of<BR>
administration argument) if it turns out that DreamHost's "One Click"<BR>
control panel doesn't give us the options we need.<BR>
