[OS X TeX] Web hosting etc

[Adam M. Goldstein]

If you use .Mac, then you can also use iWeb to create and publish the  
web site with the files to upload. You get a nice site with no  
coding, just dragging and dropping widgets and choosing backgounds  
etc. .Mac costs $100 per year, and iWeb (a part of iLife) (iThis,  
iThat, iTheOtherDamnThing) costs around the same. It is not open  
source, but then again, although google pages is free, it's not open  
source either.

Regarding Sourceforge, they probably wouldn't want to host this  
project, because (they would say) it is primarily devoted to content,  
rather than executable code.

I personally can't wait to see the magnum opus, both to learn about  
math, direct students to it, and also so that I can see the LaTeX  
used to build it, especially after having seen all the questions  
posted here about it.
