- The gzip idea sounds like a cleaner solution than introducing an entire
- new application like Squash.
-
- I have no problem contributing $20 for a new public domain drive, but
- should I contribute to all public domain sites (eg: sonata, cs, nova)?
-
- Or are we really talking about "retiring" the other sites to "backup
- status" and making sonata the "official" Next archive. From my point of
- view it WOULD be nice to know that all Next public domain stuff exists in
- at least one "official" place. The other sites could be "backups" of
- important or frequently used items I guess.
-
- Assuming the answer to the above is yes, I suggest someone volunteer to
- keep a list of people willing to send in money to sonata (say $20). When
- the total reaches $2000, everyone is asked to send in their checks ASAP.
- (Waiting like that prevents people from sending their money to a doomed
- enterprise.)
