Referring back to something Brian said earlier, let us suppose that
update times are killing you over the web using Apache and HTML. Well,
they don't need to. Updates can be instantaneous and you can have
infinite bandwidth instantaneously through the simple expedient of
bringing the server to you. Start your own intranet on your own
commodity cheap machines and, voila, Apache/HTML works! N'est-ce pas?
As Brian said, that's the beauty of open source, you can use industrial
strength tools to do the tiniest task, because they're free.
So once again, besides fast screen update times and user friendliness,
which can be licked, "What would it take to make it fulfill your needs"?
