Thanks to Miguel Guhlin for the links to MAMP (Macintosh, Apache, Mysql and PHP) and WAMP (Windows, Apache, MySQL/PHP). Miguel obviously had some good time on his hands this weekend to do some serious tinkering with some powerful read/write web tools. Miguel has done some great experimenting with Plone, Mambo and Joomla which I blogged about last week. I actually want to do the same sort of experimentation myself, but as I had a family wedding to attend this weekend, no time for this yet…..
Looks like MAMP is designed primarily as a development environment. In the next week I need to get WordPress MU (multi-user) running on a server at work, we are going to start using blogs to document many of the accreditation-related activities of our organization to take advantage of the easy publishing, organization, and searching which WordPress offers (for free of course).
I also want/need to get a Wiki environment setup on a works server, mainly to start a new oral history project I have discussed with a friend in town who has a photo archive of all the courthouses in the state of Texas. Miguel’s reference to Instiki is definitely worth following up on.
More on both of these projects later…
