It's as is, and this has worked fine for the last 100 years. There is no web doctrine. There are just ways people work together.

For example I learned how to use the San API from some google search result.

Ideally you would be a certified it admin on windows enterprise (since these are the skills required). I have an mcitp certification, and on cert server in particular one -does- need that level of expertise/training. It's not for students. > > I don't run a public service on port 80 as my ISP doesn't allow me to (or rather blocks the ports). This is normal in the us, for broadband users. No other reason. Just dealing with reality. (I cannot afford the business class ISP service that does not prohibit running public servers). There are quite a few students on this list who have managed to put their web servers up on their own money, or who have bought some hosting service. I am sure you could put it up on amazon for a little money. They have cloud services with windows. So for the moment I see students (Acadmics!) having more sense of enterprise than you. Anyway, all of this is irrelevant to the current thread as usual. > > But, someone else can do so.

So you are putting code out on the web under a non open source licence then? If so don't be surprised that nobody looks at it, since in that case they would be beholden to you for not much gain. If you don't have code that is open source then you could put a service up, but you don't want to do that either. >> >> Neither do you propose text to make the spec or other documents better. >> Neither do you come to meetings. >> Neither do you stop interrupting threads with completely irrelevant topics.

The idea is to work from what is working with all of us, and see what implementers want to communicate.
