I agree that we probably shouldn't rely on Bert's server long-term.
Brent's UI is quite nice, though, and maybe we could switch the back-end
to something else at some point. (Could be based on SqueakMap,
Monticello, or just a bunch of files on a server.) Unfortunately I'm
not strongly motivated to work on this right away since I have plenty of
other stuff to do, and what we have seems to work pretty well. ;-)
Something to keep in mind, though.
