We have 2 problems :
- www.gnomemeeting.org is hosted at university in my department. This is
not a problem. The problem is with the DNS, the DNS is the DNS of the
university, and the person in charge of it doesn't like to modify it for
non-uni related things (I can't even have an @gnomemeeting.org email
address). So it is a problem for a mirror. Another problem is that I
would have to ask for permissions for mirroring...

- there is no need (currently) to find another place to host the ILS, as
I have bought a "powerful" server and found a place where I can host it
with much bandwidth and an IPv6 address too ;)

The real problem of the ILS, is that we are using a PERL script to
translate the requests into pure LDAP, and it is not very stable. So
hardware speaking, everything is ok now, but for the software, I think
that GnomeMeeting is ok, but not its ILS server...


Paul plans to patch OpenLDAP to support directly ILS, if anybody of you
wants to help him so that we can get a replacement software ILS quickly,
please let me know. We really need help there...
