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.
