To clarify, SKS doesn't actually display photoIDs yet, though that is on the todo list (with some concerns and caveats.) It does understand photoIDs and displays a sensible string when it encounters one. I agree with Olaf on the developer issue. That's the one thing SKS is really missing, from my perspective. The implementation language is a barrier, but it's also one of the reasons that SKS is as good as it is. I can't imagine how long it would have taken me to get equivalent functionality in naked C. SKS has been a big success -- there are already about 18 servers out there, and it's growing all the time. There's a user-run documentation wiki, and an active mailing list. I'm hoping that it will attract more developers as it attracts more interest and more users. y Olaf Gellert said: > Difficult to decide.
