 TOP TEN FEDERATION DATASPACE HOST
REQUIREMENTS
by Tickenest
Yes, I know, it's been a while
since I wrote a Top Ten List, or anything for the news,
for that matter. It's the professor's fault. Really. It
is. Anyway, inspiration for this week's list comes from a
brief "conflab" I had with Galinfenner a few
weeks ago about the possibility of my becoming a
DataSpace Host. I don't think it's happening anytime
soon, but it gave me some, uh, fascinating insight into
what makes a DataSpace Host. Therefore, I give you, the
Top Ten Federation Dataspace Host Requirements...
