The main reason I want the server at Paris VIII is so that people can use it 
without tying up their home machine.  Ideally, it'll just ping them whenever 
it's done.  This'll be really helpful for me - I often have heavy processes 
running on my MacBook Pro and builds slow them down.  So the goal is still for 
it to be decentralized but to have one pole in Saint-Denis for those who don't 
have enough spare processing power to run patchy regularly on their home 
machine.
