Mark, it's good to hear that setting up a server is easy to do. What
I'm intending is, indeed, to create a permanent home, something with
enough muscle and bandwidth to allow us to depend on it. (I am
intending, too, to donate money to keep it running, as much as is
possible depending on the final costs). I must say it is an attractive
idea - very socialist! - to have a number of different servers all
provided by those of us who can, with a page to track them. It does
have the additional advantage of allowing multiple sessions at once.
But what I'm thinking right now is to focus on one server, and giving
that as much support as is needed. I also like the idea that having a
single location would give it a certain elevation, like a venue more
than just a practice space, where people could conceivably tune in
anytime to hear some live looping music.

I think the idea of setting up an LD
Ninjam server is great, however is it really ness to find a permanant
home... (unless someone here is gonna donate one). Installing the
NinJam server is incedibly simple, even for complete idiots like me,
and you don't need a special "server" machine either. My server that i
have been running is just on my work machine and I can basically have
it running whenever Im not working.
What WOULD be a good idea however
would be a page that can track what servers are currently up and
running, and number of current users. Exactly like the Jam Farm page.
So I would, for example, register my server IP on this page, and then
it would track when I was running... maybe some hassle of course... but
could be a more flexible and collaborative solution than one dedicated
server that may go sown and have no one to fix... Lets ALL put up
servers and share by a centralised info hub???
