Rsc and I have discussed some > possible projects to keep us going with a small number of people: First of all, we need a robust file server! I want to shift our file server to fossil+venti, however, I'm still hasitating. This is because: 1) there are some negative experiences the users report. 2) no clear document to describe how to install it. 3) Is it really safe to use it as fossil+venti+auth server on one machine?
