Quite frankly I am a bit upset, how almost everyone here seems to immediately wash down this Riscpedia/Serviette project. It is still in its early stages, and it is not often that we attract new software developers.From what she wrote on usenet (follow adamr's link) it sounds like she is trying to develop some kind of distributed webserver. This sounds very interesting to me. Imagine a server rack full of a9homes, with only a few powered up to manage the rack and answer initial request, powering up the rest as the load increases. Energy consumption would be very low compared to traditional webservers, eleminiating thermal problems at the same time. The whole thing would be very scalable as well. The name suggests some kind of online-encyclopedia like wikipedia.

@Jwoody: Not all websites are targetted at large audiences, so not all websites with a low volume are a failure. So far we know very little about this new site's purpose.
