<div>I could build a squeak-cgi interface. Even easier would be
a Java Servlet to Squeak interface.<br>
</div>
<div>Another solution is to use Perl-CGI scripts. (Which is how
Dolphin Wiki Web and ObjectStudio Wiki are implemented.) <br>
</div>
<div>I also know how to install Squeak as an NT service. (It's
in the NT40 resource kit. See Srvany.doc)<br>
</div>
<div>You could run many Swiki areas off of a single image. <br>

<div>i think the answer the original poster wants to hear is that
there is some<br>
way for swiki to work under CGI; i.e. instead of binding to a port it
gets<br>
HTTP requests and posts HTTP responses through the CGI framework, just
like<br>
any other CGI script would do.<br>
</div>
<div>has anyone built a squeak-CGI interface? this would be incredibly
useful.<br>
</div>
<div>as for ISPs willing to host a swiki, i just happen to run a small
web<br>
hosting service. (virtual hosting only, no dialup.) the problem
with<br>
something like a swiki (at least for me) isn't so much security as it
would<br>
be resource usage. how much memory does each swiki image need? one
swiki<br>
probably wouldn't be that big a deal, but what if i had 10 people who
wanted<br>
to run swikis? with all ten in memory sitting around and listening to
ports,<br>
i am sure that my poor server's memory would be totally maxed.<br>
