Thanks for the tip. It could ease access to a single file as a group. Best would be to find a way so a user could browse all groups at once, maybe like we may do already for `nntp', and maybe even subscribe to some of them. Unless such associations are necessarily ephemeral by nature? Hmph. I realize how fuzzy all of this is in my head. For example, could we say that a server is only a particular instance of a backend? And at which level "ephemeralness" applies? backend, server, group? -- François Pinard mailto:pinard@iro.umontreal.ca Join the free Translation Project! http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
