[microsound] a .microsound KDX server?

[Kim Cascone <kim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

headsup: I looked at KDX a couple of years ago and I liked it very 
much...but when I offered it as a possible solution to the 'hotline 
sucks' problem facing the list many people balked at the price tag and 
the fact that it wasn't 'geeky' enough for them (that is a quite a 
different discussion)...
also, I was concerned that the admin would be a nightmare in terms of 
setting up the 1000+ accounts again...but I contacted the people at KDX 
(Haxial, if I remember correctly?) and they said that they would be 
happy to consider helping us (me) construct some way of migrating all 
the account data from our Hotline server into the KDX server...they 
seemed very friendly and willing to help us as a community and - while 
I don't want to speak for them - I wouldn't be surprised if they were 
to entertain giving the microsound list a discount on group purchase of 
KDX seats...
I have KDX loaded on my laptop and have played with it a bit and I for 
one like the all-in-one-place integrated quality...I know I can do most 
of the same work via the command line but sometimes I don't want to 
scramble to remember Unix commands in order to get something simple 
accomplished and being on the road for weeks at a time my Unix chops 
tend to get a little rusty as I am mostly in banging away in Open 
Office or Max/MSP at that point...so something like KDX would be a help 
to people who just want a simple UI to participate in an oline 
community project...
other opinions?
