Anthony : A CGI'd be nice (...) I could host a CGI for this (and write
it too) ...
Alain : Because of the recent incident with my G3 server, and the
observation that despite the theft of the mail-archive we will
nonetheless be able to recover them, I got the following idea :
Alain : Distribute our collaboration infrastructure by networking
several Mac servers together. For instance, one server for the UI,
another for the Programming, and a third for the collaborative aspects.
Or mirror the site and its downloadable contents on more than one
server at a time, to speed download time and to remain available if one
of the servers goes down.
Alain : Technically, it would be a cinch. A stable IP, a Mac, and
Personal WebSharing (bundled). With the latter, we can mount each
others' volumes, share files and programs, send and receive
AppleEvents, run remote AppleScripts, and so on.
Alain : It is an important security breach, however. Thus, this
networking should only take place between TRUSTED servers, with
security measures and a secure methodology for preventing and weeding
out problems.
Alain : What do you think of the idea ?
Alain : Would you consider hosting part of the group's collaboration
and network with my new G3, Anthony ?
Alain : Anyone else with a Mac-server with a stable IP address that
wants to join in ?
