We run the wiki.osgeo.org here in germany. I asked wether it is possible 
to host another subdomain  wikibooks.osgeo.org on this server. It 
wouln't be problem. And when we get the ok from SAC we can move the wiki 
to the Telascience machine.

Auke Jilderda controls the DNS. Jo Walsh said it is easy to contact him. 
Auke would have to add the link wikibooks.osgeo.org

We thought we would solve the wiki thing directly at the Telascience 
machine to avoid double work. But if the access to the server is not 
available yet, I would suggest to set up the wiki on our server (that 
could happen tomorrow or on wednesday) and move it to the Telascience 
machine when the access i there. It would be a mediawiki with an own 
database in mysql.

Just the mail from Jo Wash (good night again) droped in. And I don't 
know what will be the role of http://frot.org/osgeo/portal/.

I didn't get an answer from the sac yet. Maybe tomorrow I will know more.
