I think what you meant is that if Exhibit could deal in a piecemeal fashion with large data sets sitting on servers (rather than downloading whole data sets onto the browser), then the scalability problem will be solved. That requires considerable server-side logic, which is present in our Longwell project.

The new Exhibit 2.0 > works with remote files?. Yes, it does deal with remote files, but not in the same sense that you're thinking about: Data in a Google spreadsheet: http://people.csail.mit.edu/dfhuynh/movies.html Data in a file from another domain: http://people.csail.mit.edu/dfhuynh/projects/data-theft/data-theft.html Data in a wiki page from another domain: http://people.csail.mit.edu/dfhuynh/projects/data-theft/bibtex-from-wiki.html (These deal with small remote data sets, not large data sets.) We have some ideas how to solve the scalability issue, and we are interested in solving it, too. But it is not trivial work.
