I'm missing a key idea. Some activities have persistent data, say a document. Another example would be the high score database for a game. That data has to live somewhere and/or somebody has to own it. You can put it on a server, or one of the users can act as the server, perhaps the one who initiates the shared activity. I think another example that was discussed recently was viewing a batch of slides. One proposal was that the other users only loaded the page they were interested in. I think that leaves the initiating user acting as the server. Are there two types of sharing, one with persistent data and another without? -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
