I think the hosting of the server should be left to
Jimbo to decide.
But what I'd really like to see is something like
groove.net, where I
can keep an offline copy on my own computer, edit articles locally,
and sync the changes with the server the next time I'm online. I'm
not on a modem connection, but I'm moving with my laptop and wireless
LAN between home, workplaces and cafes. This of course would be a
major software change. Some two-way synchronization protocol (like
unison) would be needed.
what if someone else edits your article after you last see it? how would the software
reconcile different edits from the same point? i rather prefer the current system, where
you can go in and choose the best bits of each to save. I don't foresee software
being that sophisticated within our lifetimes. maybe you have some ideas about it.
