Well. Unfortunately it is not that simple. The current hosting of
demexp.org is a shared hosting (at ras.eu.org) with many other
organisations. We do not have root access (and never will). The
question of installing drupal would have to be asked to the site
admins (for security reasons, they are picky with PHP tools -- they
have experienced abuse before). It does not mean it will be no (maybe
it has already been accepted for others). It simply means it might
take time, some negociation and requirements.

For more flexibility the easiest solution would certainly to have our
own rented place for experiments (there exists dedicated hosting at 35
euro / month in France). Do you have access to a public place hosting
your own experiments? (There is no need for drupal to be on the same
host as the server, if I understand well.)

See above.

Thanks for your work,
