Yet again, Mr. Paddington is working on setting up a server for the class.
When the class is over, if you want to host a website, you will have to pay for a hosting service. This is true for ANY tool. A website is hosted on a server connected to the Internet. There are many hosting companies available, and you can find them by a google search.
If you want to do a site that is not hosted on the class server, then you can do a search on google for mambo hosting, and sign up with one of those providers.

To respond to the questions again and hope this is clearer:

When the Postgraduate Diploma in Educational Technology class 2005-2006 is OVER and the TEMPORARY server is no longer available to us to develop whatever it is we have to do using mambo, how can I, from scratch, go online on my own, download the mambo software

Answer:
You do not need to download Mambo to your home - you need a hosting server where Mambo is loaded. After the class, you will have to purchase your own hosting account if UWI is not willing to keep the class files on the hosting service that they are setting up.

Question:
and do exactly what we did in class, that is setup a main web page where others can log in and be allowed various mambo access/privileges, and create banners, newsflashes, newsfeeds, a usable webpage, a poll. Or not download the software and do the same using the mambo software online.

Answer:
When the class is over, if you want to host a website, you will have to pay for a hosting service. This is true for ANY tool. A website is always hosted on a server connected to the Internet. There are many hosting companies available, and you can find them by a google search.
If you want to do a site that is not hosted on the class server, then you can do a search on google for mambo hosting, and sign up with one of those providers.
When you have a hosting account with a hosting provider, you can log on from your home, internet cafe or any connected location and set up a main web page where others can log in and be allowed various mambo access/privileges, and create banners, newsflashes, newsfeeds, a usable webpage, a poll.

Hope this is more specific.
