 Wow, that gonna be great Daryl... one comment of 
your made me think about something else actually... the idea of an online 
looping venue is superb, so this is what you have... 2 areas one called The 
Stage and One called ... um the mosh pit (maybe not... not much moshing at 
looping gigs... ) Now The Stage is your NinJam server, jump in here to 
contribute... THEN... you run an additional client maybe ON the server 
(bandwidth permitting)... THEN you also run a shoutcast server (even easier to 
setup than the NinJam server) this should point to the audio out of the 
soundcard.. then you have a "listen only" access, for people who just wanna 
listen to some live improv looping!!! 
  
neat huh... ? However, this functionality may be 
pretty easy to implement in the client... sdk is available I think... gonna 
check the ninjam forums and see if any work has been done with 
this...

  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???
