Collanos Workplace User Forum

I have some team members that will be connecting during off hours from other team members. This raises two questions for me:

1) If user A & B are online at the same time and A authors a file which updates to B, can user C get a copy of the file from B if A, the author of the file, is no longer online?
2) Understanding there are a million other technologies to do the following, is there a headless way to launch B on a private server such that there is always an intermediate team member online at all times? (central repository user)

Thanks in advance,

John

So I just read the post about your upcoming p2p source coming Q2 2007... It seems to confirm my concerns that sources only sync from the the source (author) of the content. 

So.. if you are writing a way around this (which I wouldn't be opposed to helping with if you have some way to let people help ... have you considered an open source fork?) have you considered making the 'sync from author only' a flagable option when adding content to the encrypted store? That way you get both behaviors.  Please make sure you make the remote p2p source headless without a GUI.  Srvany should be good enough for the Windows limited and none of the rest of us would want a GUI on this.

As long as we are on the topic, have you considered making a CLI 'checkin' that would take URL syntax such as 'java collanoscheckin -u username -p password [http://, file://, https://] Workspace objecttype ...' so that we script kiddies' could join the server source to scp/ftp/tftp/ndm etc. Just pick a format and we'll script everything else. (Is it already there???)
