Stable Track/XC Server

Having running.caltech.edu was great, because I could put whatever I wanted on the site. The message board especially was awesome to have. I also have archived history of xc/track back to the 1920's sitting on my hard drive as pdf's.

I still have all the data from the site on my computer, although the server itself is broken and I don't have a Caltech IP anyway. Does anyone know of a good way to get a machine up and running to serve the content from running.caltech.edu? Preferably a solution that will be fairly stable, and not have to roam around from room to room as people move every room hassle.

Alternately, I could probably host the content from a free site, especially by placing the photos on flickr or a similar service, and then just linking to them. I might look into that option as well.

Thoughts? The internet can do, like, almost anything. What do you want to happen?
Be able to view everyone's log entries in the past week on one web page? Be able to track your training using some better data visualization than leafing through pages and pages of logs going, "gee, I wonder what I did here?"


I'm not promising I'll have a huge amount of time to work on this sort of stuff just yet, but I could at least get some small projects done over the break.

I like the idea of better networking all of our training logs together.

I'll give it more thought, but I have a master vision going on.
