At work I have set up Python Desktop Server for my project logs. I needed a server with a search engine so that other folk at work can search through my ramblings for the details I couldn't be bothered to tell them. I could not use a public server for this as there is confidential information in there.
I initially set it up to post to the file system into an Apache www directory and this worked nicely, instant website. The only problem was the lack of a search engine.
I thought about using Python Community Server and I fiddled about trying to install it but was thwarted by the cvs not wanting to give me the medusa code. I decided to go back to the simple Apache approach.
I had a quick look for a search engine tool and came across the awkwardly names ht://dig. This is an indexing engine plus necessary cgi. I installed the debian module at it was going in no time. I tweeked the html to use the Python Community Server style sheets and get rid of the nasty blue background, added a link from the weblog to it and everything is cool.
I can live with this setup now, as I understand it a community server would give me the following features:
XML interface
Multiple accounts
Search engine
Comments
Any comments my coworkers have are probably best said to my face.
