Still hunting for a php5 compatible web host for a MediaWiki
installation for the Los Angeles LinuxChix wiki. We have an offer from
a local UML co-op ... which runs Gentoo. The instance needs some
updating so it's going through a few upgrades ... and then we can
have root on the machine to install MediaWiki. 
After reading some Gentoo documentation on both the necessary
upgrades and the MediaWiki installation I am soooooooooooooooo
grateful that I use the *much* easier Debian :)

It is possible that we would not have access until the weekend
coming up (Feb 3 or 4) which gives only a few days to populate with
a few articles.
I'm going to write the front page and a section on Women in tech with
media contacts (so when an interview needs to happen it would be
possible to have some women interviewed :)  Have a topic that you
think is important to the LinuxChix community? Start thinking, and
preparing, and we'll see what we can do to get it live by SCALE.
