How do I set up a local domain to (www.localhost.loc) to redirect to a file in my OS

[TheCodah]

I'm trying to set up a framework where people connected to same wifi connection can enter a local site for developing purposes.

I want them to be thrown to a local copy (development copy of the site) when they type in www.development.loc in the browser.

I don't want to connect the world, only people connected to my wifi.

Anyone willing to help by stating what I need to edit to :

1. Allow me to access local copy of site that's on computer (located : /var/www/developmentsitename/) using www.development.loc in browser.

or/and

2a. What do I edit to create the server accessible by other computers connected to same wifi connection.

2b. If another computer can connect to this site now, can we create a virtual desktop setting in which workers can work as if they have their own partition on the server to work on and upload work onto the development server.

I know I ask a lot, but perhaps you have the answers I'm looking for? I'm learning about linux and servers ever so steadily

I think you should consider to use one of the following things:
git / subversion / mercurial

2b. If another computer can connect to this site now, can we create a virtual desktop setting in which workers can work as if they have their own partition on the server to work on and upload work onto the development server.

As i understand you speaking about terminal server.... FreeNX will help you to set it up -)
