I agree exactly, but P2P still requires a centralized place to coordinate the actions, if not the transfers.  All those Napsters, etc. still require a few servers to help people find each other.

I think it wouldn't be hard to set up some kind of subdomain public dump FTP server (say that three times fast) that the program uploads and downloads to.  Like botsharing.darwinbots.com or something like that.

Yes, it would be nice to have a centralized server.  But not a single folder for all needs.  The folders have to be project-specific, otherwise it is going to be a mess.

As for centralized servers in file-sharing apps...  I may be mistaken, but I think Waste (http://waste.sourceforge.net/) does not use those.

Numsgil:
Okay, I just bought darwinbots.com and 500 megs of server space.  Cost me ~$42.  Donations are acceptable, PM me and I'll tell you how :P

Seriously though, this is going to be sweet!  I'm still setting everything up.  Tell Carlo to forward to the new page!

I'll see about setting up an FTP for the program.

shvarz:
Just did.

How do you see this?  I mean how is it going to relate to the wiki?  Seems like a lot of stuff is going to be duplicated.  Or are we doing wiki just as a way to allow multiple people to work on the same text?

Numsgil:
I can set up the forum, wiki, database, etc. as sub domains of darwinbots.com.

I'm working on it now.  By tomorrow, you should be able to type:

forum.darwinbots.com -> access this forum.
manual.darwinbots.com -> access the wiki.
botabase.darwinbots.com (clever, huh? :P) -> access the database
oldhome.darwinbots.com -> access Carlo's old home page for Darwinbots.

These are just simple redirects.  The actual thigns themselves aren't moved.  WIth masking, we can hide where they really are on the internet, so if we want to move the wiki from darwinbots.xwiki.com to somewhere else, we just change what manual.darwinbots.com redirects to.
