We should really start referring to this as the "collaboration server", especially if we're going to include it as a link available in all distributions/environments. Ideally, we'd fall back to some page which describes the benefits of having a collaboration server and point to links for setting one up, if there isn't one available. I have no idea how to do that. - Eben > Hmmm, I guess that's going to mess with browser cookies, but just > thought I'd raise the question. > > I might look at some other old html tricks (but not for this release) > that could avoid the broken link.
