Do you have the knowledge needed to run a server? My involvement would purely in the server/OS side. You/your team would manage everything from the JAR up.
I am not being picky. I just have no interest in managing the complications caused by linking servers that are in different data centers/parts of the country. Also it would be very hard to work with someone whom could not talk on a mic...
I do not think this would be a good opportunity to link to another server. This would be a standlone server. I am not interested in becoming involved in a existing setup. This is an opportunity for people to build something new.
