I must have to agree with Zed on this. Even that Ezra is offering their "slice" of devjavu and even Rick offers lighthouse power to the ticket system, we would be "bounded" to external and core services that we don't control -- and the end of the day, we will thank <your-deity-of-preference> for making these service being alive one more day. On this topic I'm a bit of paranoic: even I mostly trust open-source hosting services (like googlecode or even rubyforge) I keep the original repository locally and push changes to the mirror. So I have always a full copy of the repository, but not only because can work offline, but mostly they cannot guarantee me they will be 100% available (after all, is a free service). Maybe we are going too far from the purpose? We already have some infrastructure in place, maybe we could enhance or RFE to get more of the solution. -- Luis Lavena Multimedia systems - Leaders are made, they are not born.
