I don't think we really need community members to set up a server. There are several existing ftp servers where you can get a free account and store files privately and publicly. The only software you'd need to write would be the openmoko client - which I presume you'd want to show some intelligence regarding what it uploads, what it encrypts before uploading, etc. Whoever took this on would need to make sure the remote backup had a consistent (extensible) structure and format. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIF+m4jK3MZIZPmKIRArZVAKCJpUIoE5EO0upHVYO3kIyC24FCvgCdH9Ee oOVbneuMf287SFOli5RbDYo= =VxZs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
