I was hoping that Launchpad would recognize their need for a wiki and build one.  This hasn't happened yet.  It's also a pain that our current wiki provider wikidot.com has started putting ads into our wiki in such a way that if you are not logged in the page looks pretty bad.  I thought about just upgrading to a paid account but $50 a year seemed a little much. 

I am musing about switching.  I found two other providers:
* http://www.bluwiki.com/
* http://www.wikia.com/

Thoughts?

I own a hosting company and would be happy to give you a free account on a shared server where you could install anything Fantastico supports for free.

Hi!

I agree with Paul, the site looks much worse than it used to.

Wow, that would be great. We only have a handful of pages, so
migration shouldn't be a big pain. Paul manages the pythoscope.org
domain, so please contact us off the list with details. Thanks!

Hi all,

Just to sum up. Titus contacted me off the list and offered his
premium wikidot account. After we've made him an admin of pythoscope
wiki we were able to disable the ads, so no migration was necessary
after all. Thank you, Titus! Also, thank you Steve for the hosting
offer.

Cheers,
mk

Does this mean that you don't need a hosting account?
