your suggestions are good choices (that i use in other constests) but i was oriented to server-less solutions because the application should be able to work in a peer-to-peer environment without a server. Moreover I need a solution that doesn't require much skills to setup. I would avoid MySql/MSSQL/PostGRES/Other server setup, open ports or other possible problems. Thanks Alessandro
