A new Wiibrew program is out from developers Cboomf and Felix123. Called Wii Web Server, it's exactly what it's name says: it's a web server for the Wii. The program is still in its early stages of development so don't expect anything grand.

It's pretty exciting to see where this could lead. Perhaps a way to share Wiibrew directly from console to console? Or a way for the PC and the Wii to communicate and transfer files directly to each other's hard drives? Possibilities, possibilities.

At any rate, right now it's still pretty basic, but we'd love to see this take off. Be careful now - the download doesn't provide a readme, just the ELF file, so be sure to know what you're doing. Here's the changelog for the program since the first version came out:
