REBOL Killer App/Thin Edge

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?

That #4 is a tricky one. Good luck. TB

Just some thoughts: 1. Rebol/IOS is not that expensive for what it does, and Rebol/Serve is small. Just the content takes space. 2. Writing Reblets on /IOS is a higher level programming, and more likely to yield benfit to an end customer than YAP2P 3. Developing on Rebol/IOS is a great learning experience for a developer, to learn the collaborative space. 4. Rebol/IOS has ftp support, and a whole lot more. 5. I personally think small businesses want more complete solutions, not just a piece of the collaborative functionality. Of course, you can take what approach you wish, but those are my thoughts. Hope that helps, its my 2cents worth. Steve Shireman We are Volunteers of America... Jefferson Airplane Mike Yaunish wrote:
