[Syncato-general] Introduction

[Garth C. <gc...@ab...>]

Hi all,

I'm brand new to this list so I thought I'd introduce myself.  I also 
have a bunch of questions but I'll try to break them up into several 
smaller emails.  First let me say thanks for all the effort on Syncato. 
  I've only been playing with it for a short while but it seems pretty 
cool so far.

I started looking at webware recently and wanted to find a somewhat 
large application to use as an example.  After searching for a while, I 
didn't find anything suitable so I decided I would just poke at it over 
time to see what I could discover.  It was shortly afterward that my 
wife started to inquire about the possibility of installing some 
software so that she could start a blog.  I thought that maybe I'd like 
to give blogging a try too and...  Here I am.

It was a nice surprise to find that it used webware but, being new to 
both things I was a little confused by the installation of Syncato.  I 
thought that the install would be within my existing webware webapp 
heirarchy and perhaps run within a context of that installation.  As 
I've said, I don't completely understand deployment of webware apps.  
What I gather, though is that people are plopping the entire Syncato 
tree somewhere and running a separate webware instance.  Does that 
sound about right?

Also, from what I can see, there is no mult-user (blogger) support per 
se.  I've managed to run two separate webware instances each running 
syncato and talking to apache/mod_webkit on different ports with 
differenct base URLs.  Am I missing something?  Is this the way to have 
multiple blogs on a single server.  It seems to be working fine so far.

Anyway, I'll have more questions as I get into this a bit more but 
thanks in advance for any help.
