This is meant to be an internal resource for the Museum, 20+ people  
each have their own Macs and we need a place to start sharing and  
collaborating.

So at the very least, I'm interested in setting up services that are  
private to those 20 people and that require a minimum of fuss to  
connect to. So Kerberos is probably something I need.

The kinds of things we'd do:

  - shared files (either the Mac OS way or maybe NFS, or maybe even  
SMB so some Windows machines can also take advantage of our server)

  - internal blog/wiki, etc. - i.e. Apache with authentication that  
uses people's certificates to let them on and keep others out.

  - iCal sharing (hopefully short term until MIT's new whizzy calendar  
system rolls out)

  - other services as we have time to set them up.

The big two are shared files and Apache based services.
