This actually led me to changing the subject line. Right now consumption of the data and results on the probe owners' ends is based on "pull". Which is a Good Thing [TM] in itself. However, without doing extensive and error-prone scripting, it is difficult to automate and to feed into exisiting local machinery. So - here is a plee for coming up with some framework that allows me to have (selected .or. all) data *pushed* to a target on my end. This could be as simple as sending that stuff to a mailbox I vreate for that purpose and which I can register with the data repoitory hub. Of course, some safeguards apply to prevent from people "data-bombing" innocent recipients :-) This would also support sharing the data for my probe(s) with other parties for comparison - at least as long as there isn't a more fine-grained access permission system in place at the hub than [private .xor. fully-public]. Any other distribution technology that may be appropriate is fine, of course. I would immediately use that service to collect and archive "my data" on a regular basis! > Regards, > Robert > > >>best Fabian Thanks, Wilfried.
