> Just curious, does wescheme support "universe" programs? Not yet.
As you have anticipated, the problem is with server-side support (ie, where to host things). It should, in principle, be possible for a school to run a server on some DrRacket instance (say on a desktop), and have the WeScheme clients speak to one another through that server. We haven't invested effort into this because we don't think many people are likely to have the resources to maintain this. We do, of course, know how to make a WeScheme site that hosts servers. The problem is that this requires us to change our current Web-hosting infrastructure. Right now we get to rely on the free limits of AppEngine, which also gives us storage and authentication. In this alternate universe, we'd have to run our own server farm (not feasible), or find a way to pay for (say) Amazon EC2 rack space. I would love to find a solution to this problem, so suggestions welcome! (I mean concrete ones grounded in facts, not of the "Why don't you contact Engine Yard and tell them you're virtuous and ask them to give you cycles?" ilk.)
