I think that having problems in software is a common reality, unfortunately.
May be Squeaksource and it's servers (I don't know) are having a lot in these days, but the point I would mention is that is needed to think in "availability" more than in have 0 problems. The problems will exist, sooner or later, with SmalltalkHub or Squeaksource3, the challenge is, in my point of view, to have availability (some ways of reaction) in front of different failures. May be Squeaksource3 (based in Gemstone) is already covering this topic, and surely also SmalltalkHub could do it, but this is the key in my opinion, not have a single point of failure. Just my 2 cents. 2011/8/27 Stéphane Ducasse <[email protected]>: > > On Aug 26, 2011, at 7:14 PM, Alexander Lazarević wrote: > >> Hi Stef! >> >> 2011/8/26 Stéphane Ducasse <[email protected]> >> In Squeak alexander lazaverich did a SystemReporter.
