Hi pavel.
Well, although I could guarantee more or less steady uptime simply, because
the server I am connected to is part of the german internet-backbone, but it
is not a perfect solution anyway.
If sourceforge offers mySQL for the FB-website, lets do the website still
dynamically in php and mySql, and after FB1.0 porge VALinux as much as
possible to install FB on the webservers :-))
The codebase for dynamically building the stuff in mySQL is already
programmed, and I could put up some agreement with my friend to get the
source...he is eraning his money designing dynamic webpages from db's, so I
think, it should be pretty stable....
A very large plus for any dynamic system is, that even the most no-html
person (myself for example) could add content to the site simply by using
some db-aware client app (content manager) and the php builds the structure
and sites on the fly....
with linux-server and high bandwith on the VALinux-side, speed shouldn't be
an issue...I don't expect to have the FB-site more hits than a Microsoft
site, and they insist officially on having ASP running (well, it is a fake,
everybody knows, but asp is slow as hell, php is multitudes faster)...
btw, if you need more webspace for downloads or large articles, I have
several gigs to spare, and they are pretty fast at least for european
visitors (100mbit/s)....
for the future, I tend to think of mirror-sites anyway.....have a start-page
like PostreSQL, and redirect the visitors to the appropriate
mirror-server....another plus for a dynamic webpage.....mirrors can be
synchronized in both directions via db-replication :-)))
CU, Kaputnik
