The MIT IHTFP Hack Gallery is currently located at
http://fishwrap.mit.edu/Hacks (the files are stored in the
fishwrap.mit.edu and are also served over the web from
fishwrap.mit.edu). Sometime in the next few months, the machine
fishwrap.mit.edu will be going away. As a result, we're looking for a
new home for the Gallery.
We will need a machine to store the contents (preferably making them
accessable via AFS for easy editing) and another (or the same machine)
to serve them over the web. The gallery currently takes up about 400MB,
although this will grow over time as things are added to it.
So, do you have any suggestions for directions we might go in?
Some possibilities seem to include:
* Getting space in the SIPB AFS cell (we might even be able to supply
a disk for this purpose) and serving thing either via www.mit.edu or via
a machine dedicated to the purpose, located either in the SIPB area in the
machine room or in some other place (are there spaces in the Media Lab
where we could put a machine?)
* Getting a machine and setting it up in some existing AFS cell, or in
a new cell, and also putting a web server on it. This would
require machine room space as well for the machine.
If you have comments on these possible solutions or other suggestions,
please let me know.
Thanks!
Erik for the MIT IHTFP Hack Gallery staff
