Great, can you request a public ip? To begin with it will use port 80,
but ideally it will need an ssl certificate. SSL isn't required to
start out with however. Once the floodgates are unleashed for real
users we'll get a cert.

Snowy is a web application for synchronizing, viewing, sharing, and
editing your Tomboy notes online. http://live.gnome.org/Snowy. It only
needs port 80/443 access so nothing fancy. Can the reverse be set to:
tomboy-online.org?
