[developers] online treebanking

[Woodley Packard]

Hi David,

FFTB only listens on 127.0.0.1, so it will not be straightforward with a standard FFTB binary to invite audience members to point their browsers at some URL and start treebanking.  You easily could modify this (web.c around line 1279) if so inclined, or do something clever with routing tables perhaps or connection forwarding, but I’m not sure how well the user experience would hold up well with many users simultaneously connecting to the same server process.  It might work, depending on the quantity of users.

I hope that clarifies things at least somewhat,
-Woodley
