Journal FortKnox's Journal: Unread.org 54
Just thought I'd pass along the name to those of you interested:
unread.org
Ethred is the one who came up with it (mostly as a joke), and I just thought it was a great name. Its fitting unless the site becomes popular, then its ironic :-)
Of course, I just bought the domain, and set it up to forward to marotti.com until I get hosting and such (which I won't consider until the first release candidate, unless someone can get me free java/tomcat/apache/postgres hosting until I can setup a working site with a donation link), so don't worry about hitting the site. Most likely you will hit a 404, otherwise, my pointless marotti.com front page.
Requirements are on their way.... I've been sorting them out and organizing them. Taking longer than expected. If I don't get them out tonight, I will put my notebook (with all the requirements) into my laptop bag to take to work with me.
Also, I'm looking into a (free) site with CVS + Bugtrack to check in the requirements and have a version history of the requirements and usecases. I know someone (george?) suggested another site besides sourceforge... All I need is cvs + bugtrack... what other sites are there besides sourceforge?

According to the XML-RPC proponents [sourceforge.net] SOAP has a lot of features that simple client-server software doesn't need (and, as I understand it, it's meant for machine-to-machine communication rather than human-with-pc-to-machine communications).
XML-RPC would probably need the cross-platform functionality we need plus it would be easier to implement (from what I understand, anyway).
Re:I Love It (Score:2)
I'm no expert but I don't think there is native support for consuming XML-RPC type services in .NET. Microsoft pretty much only backs SOAP.
Choice of languages (Score:2)
I should have known you'd go for a java/tomcat solution. I know you're a bit of a Java zealot, but I'd seriously advise against it. It's been the cause of no end of problems here (with both the JVM and tomcat mysteriously dying on our production servers for no apparent reason). Combined with the performance and security problems, that makes it a poor choice for writing a web application IMHO.

Tomcat, on its own, is a security nightmare, which is why you pass through apache to get to tomcat, giving you apache's security.
Tomcat is just a simple solution, I could switch over to JBoss without a problem if the server needs a boost.
