I hope you get stuff set up and get some time -- always good to have more people hacking on DW. :)

The bare-VM-to-DW is getting a bit easier since I did the extlib work. This lets you use cpanm to install the Perl packages you need to a local directory. You may even be able to run DW completely out of a user's directory now. The only piece I haven't messed with is the Apache; you could make a build script and then set up the configs locally and everything else should run.

Oh, and MySQL. You'd either need a system database or run a locally installed MySQL under the user's account. Of course I'm not sure if you want to set something up to install in a user's directory on a shared VM, or if you want a "configure the whole VM" kind of thing. Either way would be an interesting project.

Yessssssssss -- time is hard. Well, whatever you get for DW is awesome, and whatever you don't we will be jealous of! ;)

That's a good quote, although it's difficult not to look at old code and go "I SHOULD REWRITE IT". At least, it's a difficult problem for me, I really enjoy going back and fixing old code of mine...
