No or more exactly not directly. 

At first, I want to test your interface, probably with a local
installation on my machine, accessible through dynamic DNS.

Secondly, we are not root on demexp.org, where we have only user
accounts. You probably noticed that the XML RPC proxy is not on
demexp.org because I cannot easily install CGI on it.

At mid term, I think we will migrate to our own dedicated server with
root access. Fréderic has just start rented a Dedibox for its own
firm. Christopher Mann has also proposed a similar setting.  No decision
has been taken right now and we haven't even discussed of it.

In the mean time, I'm not sure how we will solve this technical
issue. Probably through a DNS name beta.demexp.org pointing to a Drupal
host somewhere.

I'm not sure of it neither. Currently we have decided to have three
wikis, fr/, en/ and main/ for respectively editable French wiki, English
wiki and non-editable main web site.

Right now, I envision your Drupal module as a separate hierarchy related
to the web interface of demexp. We can discuss on it.

I can't answer those questions right now. In case we could build our own
Drupal host, which softwares and versions are required? 

On the technical side, I would much prefer to use PosgreSQL rather than
MySQL for Drupal backend.


I have added those questions to the agenda of next project meeting:
  http://www.demexp.org/fr/doku.php?id=reunion_du_25_septembre_2006

Feel free to add your own points.

Best wishes,
