Just got a reply from them regarding the bucket amount and permission amount limits and both are in fact beta limits. No idea about the bandwidth though.

Do you have any concrete plans about a potential network extension yet?

[ygoldfeld → seego]

A couple -

1. The obvious one is “just” extending stuff internally working via Unix domain sockets to TCP sockets. Various internal code is written with an eye to that, including anticipating that certain operations (such as connect) that are instant locally can would-block in a network.

If people enjoy the API, this would be a no-brainer value-add, even if lots of people would scoff and use actual dedicated networking techniques (HTTP, whatever) directly instead.

2. The much more fun and unique idea is using RDMA, “sort of” a networked-SHM type of setup (internally). Hope to get a go-ahead (or contribution, of course) on this.

I mention these in the intro page of the Manual, I think.

Yes - you want their "EU" layout. It's "US" with a € sign.

US keyboards have 1 key less, a bigger left shift key and a 1 row enter key. It's not simply a matter of putting the right stickers on them.

Imho the problem was exactly the opposite. Investing too much in the old symbian platform and not commiting to maemo.

Why configure it when it denies an opportunity to rant?

[mac01021 → seego]

Well, I can do both.... :)

Configure for my own use, and rant about the predominance of an inferior way of thinking.

And, with less-configurable DEs, ranting (or being silently tolerant) is the only option.

[seego]

Do you have any plans to provide C/C++ bindings?

[aboodman → seego]

We want to. It would be nice if we could just use cgo but it's not complete. So we need to build some kind of simplified API to Noms that can be exported via cgo.

I created a bug for this just now: https://github.com/attic-labs/noms/issues/2718

Please feel free to get involved there.
