Three issues: 1) Setting up server side support in a corporate/government environment may have too steep a curve. Downloading a file and putting it on a cd to bring inside a secured location is a more resonable requirement. Distribution off a shared drive or vie email or sneaker net is possible. 2) Some of my users will be on networks without internet access, so running a server on UnaMesa would be a non-starter for them (but thanks for the offer). 3) Some of the deployments are tailored to particular clients and includes proprietary info again making a public server undesirable. I can certainly see where having a server to support some tasks is a win, but just trying to get tiddlywiki as a medium for classwork is an uphill battle, although the saving in trees for printed media is a selling point. > Cheers, Same to you. -- rouilj --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
