Also, if putting together a "distribution" for authors is so simple, then it has already been done, or can be done in a matter of hours or days. So, if things are so simple, perhaps the author can write the system, or at least the specifications.
BTW, I already have an idea about how it can be done, but, I'm not sure what the author has in mind.

There are many of us running at home servers who would love to add $$$ to our pockets. I have a 4tb server w/quad core xeon and 16gb ram sitting almost idle. I use about 1tb for current clientbased storage that takes place between 6pm and 6am, the rest is wide open to recommendations to turn it into a profitable endeavor. I remember putting up my first Virtual server (the origins of the cloud) way before virtual imbedded itslef in the market place. I ran a handful of apps on a TS, and can see exactly how simple it would be to provide a conerstone to this niche. Anyone game?
I currently use it as an ftp server to receive backups from my clients. It is SBS 2008 and wide open. I have sql (2008 std, 2008 ctp5, 2005 std - nnot installed but available to install), I have sbs 2008 std mgmnt server available to install, along with - web server 2003 and just about every other version of ms server 2003. I have 2 spare servers, one with a p4, 3..4 and 2tb storage, 1 with dual xeon 3.1 and 2tb storage, also a spare box with quadcore chip...I only need more ram and can add up to 2.5tb space or more if needed.
in the future, depending upon test results.
My web application uses Postgresql, and ASP, as I had written most of the application a few years ago and only recently decided to try to finish the coding, so I kept the language as ASP with the expectation that I would upgrade it later.
It's a web publishing system, and not like all the others out there. It would be unique and not like a CRM or WordPress or others like that. It would be much more than that.
However, I'm looking for either a "free" test run or a fairly inexpensive option, with the expectation of partnering later with someone that has the expertise and resources to assist in further development of the system.
I don't have the system on-line yet, but I could probably demo it through LogMeIn or some other remote network system.
BTW, Postgresql is free, and setting it up should not be overly difficult.

I have the available bandwidth and the machines to be the infrastructure from a physical standpoint. I will setup web server 2003 as the O/S of choice...What do you need for hard drive space? Anything else off the top of your head?
The technical side, including building the website, and we listed instructions for getting Word (.doc, .docx) into a suitable format. We were inundated with questions about OpenOffice, LibreOffice, and a couple of less popular ones.
As it happened our "suitable format" was .odt, so it was simple to sort, but around 3/4 of submissions before we added an extra page for those instructions asked about it.

No one just sticks resources out there for free without any inclination of ROI. Would you fuel an industry who stands to profit (possibly humongous profits) for nothing? There always has to be a catch. If a site can provide the tools to accomplish this, $50 a month is nothing. Have you ever investigated what the cost is to set up, maintain, fund, electric, maintainance....of server/s and online presence? Have you ever investigated the cost of publishing? Stop the complaining when someone talks about cost...you'd think it was owed to you like an ungrateful brat
