Hi! Ok so there are a couple of questions and potential answers brewing. How to host? Where to host?

David Lewis expressed that we should recover the actual SS instance and stabilize it. This may include bringing it up to a more modern, Cog-supported Squeak image. I am working on doing this for source.squeak.org and so I hope that effort can overlap this one.

This is why I will also be pressing you with questions about latest Seaside -- right now the old SS is running on Seaside 2, not 3.

Based on this revitalization experience, we can decide whether we want to:

- make it totally read-only

- give up and port it to SqueakSource3 running on GemStone.

Then there is the question of hosting. It sounds like we may have a couple of options between Robert Hirschfeld's group and the servers provided for Squeak by the SFC. Wonderful!

Until the revitalization work is done, we may just have to endure restarting it occasionally.

Everyone please chime in. Is this a good plan?

- Chris

Hey Chris

before getting back to Oscar, how should we proceed?
The one big question probably is, where should the server
be located?
I bet Robert Hirschfeld would not mind hosting the server
at our group, but I cannot promise that. However, he has
expressed interest in it. We also should include Bert
in the conversation at some point.
The point why I asked Oscar is, that he will be at
our site soon and could bring the data physically
with him :)

Best

PS: I received a Google Drive share invitation from you.
What was the reason?
