[REBOL] REBOL Killer App/Thin Edge
From: mike::yaunish::shaw::ca at: 23-Mar-2002 21:49
I know some people are working on the bits and pieces of this already (Rugby).
But I just wanted to voice what I see as an excellent opportunity for REBOL to
get out to the masses. Standard FTP is pretty much taken as a standard that
everyone can and should have fairly easy access to. I believe a
low cost version of Secure P2P file sharing written in REBOL would find a huge
audience amongst small and large businesses. Here is what is needed to make
this
come true;
1. Work with clients using dynamic IP addresses.
2. Not require a third party server.
3. Allow each user complete control over security.
4. Not have anything to do with wholesale theft and distribution of
software, music etc.
5. Need a good file requester/dialog box.
I am already seeing small business customers that want this kind of solution
today. If REBOL can fill this small but simple niche then I can see the
profile of this mighty language soar. I know IOS and others are going
in this direction - but the small and fast will spread the word much more
quickly.
I am willing to work with others to make this a reality. Anyone else
interested?
