Here’s what I’ve learned:
To run a MOO, you need two pieces: a server and a database. I easily downloaded and installed the enCore database mentioned in High Wired that is made particularly for education. I did not so easily download and install the LambdaMOO. It seems I need a yacc compiler and that is not on either of my servers. I will probably put in a ticket to my ISP to see if this is even possible. But then I had an idea: what about a wiki? It’s essentially the same idea except you use wiki markup instead of commands. It’s browser based rather than telnet which makes it more accessible. So, here I go to my wiki to begin the trail….
