100% agreed! Post on -chat if you ever get something like this off the
ground. It's such a pain to run a web server as a regular netizen,
thanks to all the NATs and thanks to the hacks we have to do to work
around them which are either themselves centralized or unreliable... :<<

Actually one of the things we considered was making it non-centralised. Since 
no radical
person would want to store their social network on the external server... 
getting them to
put it on their computer would be problematic, but asking them to "login and 
provide names
of your friends" is impossible.

In a nasty centralised way of course, but with the current state of
technology and deployment ALL social networking is nasty centralized
crap - partly because of NATs, partly because of business models, and
partly because nobody has got around to implementing good peer to peer
social networking sites.

Hi there,
i used 'heavy' to describe the node update process a whole --> IRC
connections &  VS auto-update from nodes to nodes (+ a web site
where people might catch/put their node id to get an entry point)

concerning your bot particularly,
well it is far better than manual update of course, but the looks is still
very 'underground' geek programming.
nowadays a GUI is a must (even if not necessary) to the dumb-end-user!!!
i don't know maybe a web/html front page interfacing your refbot.py would be
(nice&easy) enough??

but to me the 'heavy' pb is from the update process itself...

may the 'ubuntu'(*) be with you!!

have a good day,
brice

(*) the concept not the distro

Actually one of the things we considered was making it non-centralised. Since 
no radical
person would want to store their social network on the external server... 
getting them to
put it on their computer would be problematic, but asking them to "login and 
provide names
of your friends" is impossible.
