[sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] A Central Location for Omni Docs

Thu Jan 15 13:30:44 PST 2015

Awesome!
OwnCloud was too complicated and unfeasible for my personal needs, so I
scrapped the idea, and didn't read much past the word 'server'.
I'll finish reading up on it, and see if it's something I can do. If not
though, after it's set up and ready to be filled, I officially volunteer to
be the chutes and ladders, and get all the files organized in there, with
permissions set!
I'll get back to the thread on this a bit later.
