Re: [Flightgear-devel] Terrasync for WS3.0

[Torsten D. <to...@t3...>]

Speaking as someone who has collected/inherited bits and pieces of "hey, 
this looks easy"
data and infrastructure ideas over the last decade or so:

Terrasyncing ws3.0 is straightforward and our DNS resolver system is 
ready for it.
So, "this looks easy". However, keep in mind that for making this 
"official", I strongly
recommend thinking about some kind of process to

  * create and allow updates of the scenery sometimes
  * do this even if the original creator has left the project
  * incorporate changes into existing scenery (doing this manually gets
    boring over time)
  * work in coexistance with existing processes, think of the scenery
    database e.g.
  * manage expectations from our users

None of these should hold you back collecting and hosting the data in 
the way you mentioned.
You can start right away with your server, add the .dirindex files and 
make people use your T/S
mirror by setting the correct property on startup.

But please think carefully about the above mentioned items (and maybe 
some more) before
going large scale.

Greetings and wishing you all a late happy new year!
