TeX’s license also applies to the NSA and other organizations out of 
jurisdiction…

"Material Defender", Idris’s question was not about single documents but the 
TeX tree - since it gets synchronized to each of your harddisks by Dropbox, I 
don’t see why it shouldn’t work. If you use different OSes, you must care about 
including different binaries, the same as with a file server installation.

[NTG-context] ConTeXt in the cloud

[Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد]

Dear gang,

Since I work with context at both my home and my work machines, I'm  
thinking of moving my context tree to dropbox and just keeping that one  
tree updated. Have any of you tried something like this, and are there any  
unforeseen issues that could arise?


Or are there any other thoughts about running ConTeXt as a personal cloud  
application?


Best wishes
Idris

Hey Matthias,

It sounds like all you are trying to do is host a file on a server, but
the consumer lexicon may be confusing you. I recommend these two links:

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#CloudComputing

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.html

Best of luck and take care,

Legalities .. anyone can do it I guess and no one can claim that it's a 
unique (copyrighted process). With respect to technicalities ... most 
robust is xml input, a for texing one needs to take some precautions as 
one can create enormous jobs. Also it needs to be sanboxed. And there 
are resources to manage.

[NTG-context] ConTeXt in the Cloud?

[Matthias Weber]

Dear All,

as the proud owner of one of these tablet thingies  I am trying to make it as 
TeX-friendly as possible. Because the chances
of running TeX on it are slim, I've been looking at alternatives. The major 
goal would be to be able to create a 
presentation in ConTeXt on a tablet. For LaTeX, there is a cloud based services 
called ScribTeX,
which allows you to store (in the free version) up to three projects with up to 
50MB space in the cloud, and have it LaTeXed.
As their cloud can be accessed via an App, you can edit the files on your 
tablet, send them to the cloud, have them TeXed, and
download the pdf.

I am tempted to contact the ScribTeX people and ask them to suport ConTeXt as 
well, but as I am just a little user and wouldn't have 
a clue about legalities, technicalities, etc, I thought I might ask here first.

Thanks!


Matthias
