Encryption:

When we brought up the idea of Internet collaboratories that use Loci, some time
ago, the topic of encryption came up.  This may be important for corporations
who want to protect their data (although The Open Lab opposes this, but it is
nonetheless a desired feature).  FreeS/WAN is GPL software for encrypted, secure
(if there is such a thing) TCP/IP communication:

ssh and cvs:

Does anyone know if and how cvs might use ssh?  Justin is setting up ssh now.

Mailing lists:

I would like to make 3 mailing lists on theopenlab server, using Mailman.  Each
list will cover a large part of Loci, maybe several modules each:

    instruments (1 module, loci-instruments)
      inst-na1d
      inst-aa1d
      inst-aa2d
      inst-3d
      inst-phy

    imaging (3 modules)
      loci-slides
      loci-stages
      loci-ibuild

    infrastructure (4 modules)
      loci-servers
      loci-locusml (not mentioned last time)
      loci-wrappers
      loci-benchtop

Whew!  We've got a lot of work ahead :-)

I will make a pipet-devel mailing list a bit later.  For now, we will continue
to use the one at UKansas (this one).
