AFAIK there is no gimp host that meets all those requirements, specially the admin part. Quite aside technical issues that are usually solvable by an install command, there are certain risks to be considered. I wouldn't put in the same machine as any part of the main gimp site. Any dynamic site is vulnerable to exploits and hacks. Compromising such a trivial side thing like the wiki should in no way threaten the operation of any of the main sites and integrity of a heavily used and trusted host like gimp.org that could be used to spread malware far and wide. -- --Alexia _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
