Well it depends... there is a development version of this list to discuss development issues though it is low traffic and may not have a lot of subscribers. But MORE IMPORTANTLY, I think the point is that this list is "staffed" by volunteers who have limited time and resources. We are eager to help people who have specific, well-thought out, and BackupPC-related questions. Also, people who contribute bug fixes or (working & tested) new code are welcome. However, what is much less welcome are people who just suggest ill-defined or loosely-defined ideas that may have only narrow relevance and then expect the list to flesh-out and translate their ideas into something that actually makes sense and is doable. In other words, if you want to invest the effort in fleshing-out, developing, and testing an extension to BackupPC or a new usage case, that's great and in most cases very welcome. But if your intention is to just loosely formulate and throw-out some vague ideas and then expect the list to do the hard work for you of fleshing it out and implementing it, such contributions are typically less welcome -- unless perhaps you are addressing a topic that is of clear broad interest to many people. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Why Cloud-Based Security and Archiving Make Sense Osterman Research conducted this study that outlines how and why cloud computing security and archiving is rapidly being adopted across the IT space for its ease of implementation, lower cost, and increased reliability.
