#132Hey everyone! The four of us have been working very hard on this for the last six months, and we're excited to finally take the wraps off. Can't wait to hear what you think! We've got a lot more stuff coming over the next few months, and if there are particular things you'd like us to do/prioritize, I'd love to hear about them!

#133Earlier quoted context omitted.
It would be more helpful for people reading this comment if you gave reasons beyond "It's taboo". I'm sure you have good reasons, I just can't see them here.
Portability, robustness, flexibility and security. There's little reason to spread out a package like meteor all over /usr/local. But many reasons against doing that. To illustrate, a few simple questions: What if I need multiple meteor versions on the same system (different versions for different users/projects)? How do I quickly switch between different meteor versions (often needed in fast-moving projects like thi…
I totally agree with this. This is a lesson that NPM already had to learn the hard way.

I tried to install meteor using cygwin and hit "Sorry, this OS is not supported yet.".

#138I loved this project, nice job... just wondering, what if I want to protect my DB so people cannot change it through the browser console as shown in the video? (also this example http://colors.meteor.com/)

#139This is the first use of server-side js that has made a lick of sense to me as anything other than an experiment.
I think in terms of security and flexibility the API may wind up being a lot more complex than it is now. Maturity aside, clearly an excellent idea and work so far...

#140Is GPL really viable for a web framework? The Free Software Foundation has consistently held that linking to GPL code (not LGPL) is derived work.
This is a major point...
If I use it in my project and after a while I want to charge for the service and I don't distribute all my code, am I in trouble? if yes, I forecast a slow and steady walk into the event horizon for this nice little thing.
