Re: Announcement: A Lilypond 'cloud' website

[Ramana Kumar]

Why is "Real Name" requested?

Is the software behind this system free and freely available for users of the system?
Is there a privacy policy and/or terms of use?
Would the AGPL license be suitable?

I'll remove the reference to Facebook - that's not in use right now. Creating an account just sets up a separate directory for your files, that's all.

Files are stored on my own VPS server - A debian system with only one account holder - me. Server is in Canada.

No charges, ever, it's just a way for me to 'give back' to Lilypond, that's all.

Cheers,

Hi Mike, 

Thanks for the announcement!

Before I try it out, a couple of questions:

The login is via Facebook account - if I don't have one and create an account on your website, will I in fact create a Facebook account?

Where is the data stored and who has access to it?

Will the use of this IDE become a pay service eventually (storage cost etc)?

Thank you!

Robert

It's kind of 'alpha' and needs to people to try out the functionality.

Not affiliated with the Lilypond project in any way, it's  if for people who would like to have access to their Lilypond projects remotely.

You can upload your projects and work on them on the website, in a way analogous to how you might work on them on your desktop system. You can create new folders and sub-folders, use 'include' files, download the project back to PC, etc.

It's far from complete - it will evelove over time - but  it is might nevertheless useful 'as is' for those who need occasional access to their projects.

If you think the approach has potential, as a kind of 'google docs' for Lilypond, and can help with occasional testing and feedback,  please reply, preferably off-list. I'll be starting a mailing-list eventually.
