>Self Hosted >Invite Wtf is this? Why would self hosted shit need invites?

• andor 11y ago
  They probably want to talk to potential customers and learn about their requirements.

  It's in beta, so I imagine they want to be able to manage to support load as they tweak various bits and pieces of the system before having it go live.

  FYI, your language and lack of thought invites downvotes. Self Hosted for example doesn't necessarily also mean Open Source or Free.

    That's true. I should have been more clear: If it's not using any of their resources for me to run it (which is what I assume "self hosted" means), what purpose is served by the invite only system? While the other commenters mentioned support and stuff which kind of makes sense, it feels to me like their definition of self hosted is different from my definition.

      What differences do you see?
      • finnn 11y ago
        Well self-hosted to me implies that they don't have anything on their end that has to run per-instance, which is the usual reason to do invite only betas.
