{groups} [HPFGU-Catalogue] Tech constraints on number of people

[Paul Kippes]

Beats me.  I'm already running a website when I'm not suppose to.  So
I guess that would be 0.

I don't get too hung up about it.  There are millions of people openly
sharing files or other content from their home PCs.  Plus, my data
isn't public since I have IP blocks, the security pop up, a
non-standard port.  Anyway, it seems to me that AOL messenger or Yahoo
messenger is the same thing--a service to which anyone can connect to
send you a message.

Once the connections start to interfere with my trying to accomplish
things, then we'd have a problem.  Eventually I'll be able to monitor
the traffic to know if that is the case.  Problems would happen there
if too may people were on at the same time.  For now, the best
statistic I have is that the server has transmitted a total of 740 MB
over 19 days.

Here is the line from my TOU.

(xiv) run programs, equipment, or servers from the Premises that
provide network content or any other services to anyone outside of
your Premises LAN (Local Area Network), also commonly referred to as
public services or servers. Examples of prohibited services and
servers include, but are not limited to, e-mail, Web hosting, file
sharing, and proxy services and servers;

You have mentioned a couple of times that you are in danger of 
violating your T&C with your ISP in allowing all of us to access your 
computer in the way we are doing.

Could you let us know roughly how many people you think you can have 
working on the database at any one time ? And whether this is a 
technical limit on the number of people actually working 
simultaneously on the database, or just a limit on the number of 
people who have been given password/security access to it?

The reason I want to know is that I want to understand better how 
many people I can have working on the project at once. 

>From my point of view there are other constraints, such as ensuring 
everyone is familiar enough with the categories to code correctly, 
plus my time in supporting people, answering queries and so on, so I 
am not thinking of suddenly doubling the numbers. However, I would 
like your estimate of the maximum number we could have on the project.

Thanks
Carolyn
