Two comments:

-Make sure it is simple. If I were doing it I would simply use Comanche
and HTTP posts on the server side *to begin with*. Then whatever cool
acronyms you can come up with later are of course cool to have as
extras. IMHO.

-Make sure you can setup a server that is Squeak-only. If I run Win32
for example, I would like to be able to set one up without having to
install Apache.
