Putting it on a blog does serve the purpose of public openness, which is also useful, but from a technical standpoint the S/N ratio suffers a lot, and with everything in one big lump, information will just get lost. Dualed forums (dev + user) linked off per-topic wiki entries would be a better way of handling this, I think.

Trying to request a global change to the firewalls to enable a range of UDP ports is at best a career-limiting move, and at worst grounds for public flogging! Everybody sees the benefits, but nobody's willing to risk the security. Proxy! Proxy! Proxy!

Under the kind of network mayhem we have been experiencing lately, it's almost impossible to do a very very basic thing and that is to simply cross from one sim to the other.
