Hi Hannes,

Right now script updates are locked down by IP address, so at this point no one 
can update the three scripts I put on unless they spoof my ip.

I realize this may lock some out of their own scripts if ip changes, I plan to 
add an auth system to this and let user store a usrname/key to pass to server 
to validate their script edit access.
 
I'll probably include a rating system and vote to remove system also.

Thanks,
Matt

Hello Matthew,



this sounds great and I think it would be very useful if you could

document all of this in the wiki as well so that people not on the

mailing list can discover about it as well.



Personally, I'm a bit worried about this, though:

So if I push some malicious script, it will be merged into the 'repo'

automatically. OK, you could argue that people should check the code

before using the script, fair enough. How is versioning handled,

though. I.e. what if I (being an evil attacker) push a file with the

same name you're using for your popular script? Will it then be

overwritten and distributed to all the happy users of your script?
