Hi,
Basically what I want to do with the website that I registered here is a community-driven effort to produce a cross-referenced and cross-index database of Philippine laws. Hence the name LEX LIBERA (which means "free law").
I have already discussed with some interested parties and we had agreed that the best approach to this would be to use the same wiki engine that the popular Wikipedia is using (MediaWiki). Unfortunately we don't have the money to pay a host which will offer us PHP and MySQL so we can use MediaWiki, and our research showed that this is THE free host to go to.
Admittedly MediaWiki is trying to use some functions which are potentially liable to abuse. I have tried the different possible solutions as presented in the forum, but I could not make the site work. I do know however there are at least two sites here at x10hosting.com which is using MediaWiki (Maple Street at maplestreetwiki.x10hosting.com and Mirrorverse Universe at mirrorverse.x10hosting.com). I am asking therefore that for my account the advanced PHP configuration be allowed.
If you are worried about my credibility, I can give you some of the online activities that I'm into. Currently I am the bureaucrat of the Cebuano Wikipedia (http://ceb.wikipedia.org) -- basically, the project manager who could assign rights to other users such as delete pages, protect pages, etc. I am also the moderator of the DILFED Yahoo Group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DILFED).
I stand by my honor to use only official releases of the MediaWiki software from mediawiki.com; therefore you can be sure that patches to compromise your system had not been applied. Or you can install the software for me, but I think that that's asking too much :-)
We expect to get substantial traffic for the site considering that its clientèle would include law students, struggling lawyers, paralegal practitioners, government officials and even the ordinary Filipino who just want to know something about the laws of their country. I hope in such a way we can repay your excellent service and you can continue to offer free hosting to the masses.
Thank you very much.
Respectfully yours,
Vincent Isles
Project Initiator, LEX LIBERA

NOTE: They denied the request. I have rerequested for another version (less secure than Basic, but more secure than Advanced which I am requesting in this letter).
