[HCoop-Discuss] [HCoop-Announce] Reminder about AFS permissions

[Daniel Margolis]

By AFS? I've never seen that--darcs, for example, provides read-only access
over HTTP, and svn uses the "svn" protocol or WebDAV. Is anyone using
hcoop's AFS in this capacity right now? If not, it seems like a clear win
for privacy to restrict AFS access to authenticated users.
