Ok, understood. Do you think the implementation of server-client support would be relatively straightforward once server-server is in place? > Depends if someone is interested enough to work on it. ;-) It's an > interesting project that's not too difficult however there hasn't been much > deep thinking on it yet to uncover all the potential difficulties. I am interested, and depending on how things go, I do think this feature would help the design of the system. I'm pretty sure I won't be able to put my own time on it, though. My best bet is for someone else from the community to take it over, or for us to find someone which would be able to contribute more directly. -- Gustavo Niemeyer http://niemeyer.net http://niemeyer.net/blog http://niemeyer.net/identi.ca http://niemeyer.net/twitter
