You might want to look into using a good wiki system that lets you manage permissions and groups. Take a look at Confluence made by Atlassian, or Clearspace made by Jive (Jive Software also makes a great XMPP server that integrates nicely with Clearspace). One nice feature with Confluence is that it email edits to members of a group automatically, further extending it's reach to your members. I know you can get an academic license for Confluence, and probably one for Clearspace. I've used both products and found them to work great for what you're trying to accomplish. Just my 2 cents....

Even though I am a die hard Slacker, I still think this is too cool. As a kid, I visited the library that Whitebox was spawned from, and coming from a somewhat small city makes it pretty nifty. Great work.
I hope they squash him and don't give him a plug-nickel in "settlement".
Or should that read : I hope they squash him and don't give him a butt-plug in "settlement".
Not at all, I'm not making any imperative statements. I'm just stating my experience I've had with Wal-Mart with regards to the topic. I could care less about any quasi-political views people have about how they run their business. Personally, I buy from them simply because I save alot of expensive gasoline driving around town looking for everything else. It's a matter of practicality seeing as gas prices are obscenely high nowadays.

Inside Wal-Mart IT

Actually, Wal-mart outsources it's IT needs at every chance it gets. I do alot of rollouts and installations of IT related stuff for Wal-mart around the state. They use Cisco equipment for most of their switches & routers, and NT4,2000, & AIX on their servers. As for the quality of administration, it's not that bad at all. We have to document everything thing and call in to home office for the simplest of things like swapping ports on a switch so as to keep things in order. I know those are typical things most organizations do internally, but for company this size, I think it's pretty good. The workmanship of some of the wiring around the stores leading to and from the UPC rooms leaves a bit to be desired though.
So, what, their master plan is to throw millions at something with a market that is maybe in the tens of thousands?
LOL...tens of thousands?? Have you been missing the news for the past couple of years? Linux is on much more than just a mere "tens of thousands" of desktops. Based on it's growth, it is also expected to pass the Mac OS in user base this year. Yea, Corel could do alot of good at porting Wordperfect to Mac OS X, but it would be halfway there by porting it to run on Linux anyway.
Perhaps because it has no atmosphere now is good enough evidence, not to mention it's surface gravity is too low to sustain an atmospheric pressure breathable for humans. While Mars does currently have an atmosphere, it's by no means dense enough to breath in for humans, unless we figure out some way to genetically alter our lungs by the time we get there.
No matter how hard we try, Mars is not capable of retaining an atmosphere breathable by humans for one simple reason, SIZE. No matter what we try to do the atmosphere will slip away over time. Albeit, a long period of time, but aren't we dealing with long periods of time when terraforming? Just my thought on the subject.

Some things never change...
Dude, those are called crumbs :)
That explains your shitty content and piss poor response time. :)
That would be one hot ass!

So in other words...connection reset by peer review?

We'll be able to nuke them YEARS out, even with current technology.
True, but what the asteroids?

I think "Vista" would be a good name for it.
They must have had Vista running at the time.
Scenes from Robocop come to mind when the mech unit has a "glitch" and wastes a guy during the demo.

Does it run Linux??

Really? I didn't know that Microsoft gets a kickback when I install/run Linux on the servers I build for my customers.
