I was wondering where (or if) you can make suggestions to install new scripts on Surpass. I have been looking at an open source project (http://www.theospi.org/) for creating, sharing and managing ePortfolios.

I would love to be able to use this but my limited knowledge of development/deployment of binary files and database setup makes this an onerous task. Apparently, this is what the server needs for it to function:

Requirements
------------
- In order to install the OSPI application, you will need certain other
applications. This document will not detail on how to install these, but they
must be installed (and where appropriate configured) by the installer.

1) Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1-b21)
2) jakarta-tomcat version 4.1.18 (or newer).
3) If to be used in conjunction with Apache, Apache 1.3 will be required.
4) jakarta-ant 1.5.1 (http://ant.apache.org/)
5) A database must be configured to run OSPI portfolio in.
Oracle, mySQL, and postGREs are currently being tested.

I don't know enough about the shared hosting system to determine if my account will support this.
