Wouldn't this be hosted in Wisconsin?

  Hello,

this is just to say that our sysadmin here said 

- ok for hosting a wiki
- ok for virtual hostname wiki.octave.org

  So we have this option for hosting the wiki. The machine is
omni.isr.ist.utl.pt or isr.isr.ist.utl.pt.

  I got Oddmuse working on my machine, but didn't manage (yet) to use
the previous octave-wiki (I guess I should s/old_host/new_host/ a
little everywhere, right?).

  Indeed, from oddmuse's code, it looks like 'little-sister'
security. I don't know much on the subject, but iigc your next
sentences, a script in a html page cannot make the server do a system
call?

  Sure, I was going to ask.

  Cheers,
