Browser plugin webspace proposal

Hi all,
I recently played with the Squeak webbrowser plugins, and *really* like
what I am seeing. I'm sure that everyone else understands their
potential (probably better then I do).
I have a server (simple midrange pentium running Red Hat Linux) which I
am not doing much with, as the reason I got it didn't eventuate.
Currently it is running a couple of small sites off zope (which is an
excellent environment, btw).
What I am thinking of doing is making space on this machine available
for squeaklets (however we define them...) ie people can get an account
a la geocities, and use the space to put up innovative multimedia squeak
stuff(TM). The site would also provide a point to download installers
for the plugins, a directory of squeak enabled sites, documentation for
creating squeaklets and so on.
Before I start, however, there are a couple of questions:
+ would anyone be interested in using a site like this?
+ would anyone be interested in helping me with this site?
+ what services should be available? To make the best squeaklets, some
sort of server side will be neccessary to balance the client side. I am
willing to give as much server control as is possible subject to
security and resource issues. What should this mean in practice? What
is a squeaklet likely to need server side?
I also need a domain name (suggestion anyone?).
So, what do you think?
Russell
