As important as this area is to me, it doesn't pay the bills, and I have ended up with too much else going on to really maintain the ongoing universe servers.

It runs out of a Squeak image, saves its database to disk, and needs to write into a directory that is reachable by HTTP. There's a DNS name that would need to be repointed at your server. The main administrative issue is dealing with resetting ownership like in this case, which currently requires opening some inspectors and hacking around. This would be a good task for anyone wanting experience with Squeak networking, or for anyone who wants to help out the Squeak community.</div><div><br></div><div>If anyone wants to take a nibble before committing, take a try at running a completely new server, first.
