I think we should have a consistent policy for preferably all only services, I would be fine with removing the restriction or extending it to just 80/8080/443 or whatever; I do not think we should have more special ports (but clearly need a better error message IIRC). >Bjoern: would it be possible to document that in your FAQ for the time >being? I gave myself an AI to do that and added the topic as an agenda suggestion for our next meeting to the Wiki. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
