Thanks for voting folks. Seems like lots more online information, etc., might be called for before an in-world meetup. Or maybe we’ll do both :)

@aral Trying to understand the p2p chat example… So each user would need to run their own server to communicate? Can you give a concrete example of where this would be more practical than more typical many clients one host scenario? Is it tied to the planned Domain project?

@dx Yep. So once Domain is ready. e.g.,

1. You go to small-web.org
2. Ah dx.small-web.org is available
3. Enter credit card for €10/month

In ~30 seconds you’re up and running at your own domain with your own Small Web place where you can be public or communicate with other Small Web places privately ala that chat example.

(Or you go to some other domain host or, say, stat.gent – City of Ghent – and enter the code you recieved as a citizen and get your place, etc.)

@aral I would be happy to meet in person after years of interacting online.
I'm not really into making webs (although I think you have a great point)
Bray is just a few stops in the Dart from Dublin center (I would be running the line almost end-to-end but whatever)
