[MOBY-dev] BioMoby central dead...

[Heiko Schoof]

Hi,
we have implemented synchronization of moby centrals. But it needs  
some testing under production conditions. Read-only should work fine.  
So if anyone is willing and able to host an alternative moby- 
central... we are in the process of setting one up, and could  
possibly act as European mirror. But I need to discuss this with  
Andreas first, and see in what time scale this is feasible.
Has anyone else been experimenting with the synchronization code from  
Andreas?

What would then be missing is the implementation for a fall-back in  
the client libraries, I think. In effect, the ability to give a  
second moby-central, which is used if connections to the primary fail.

Best, Heiko
