is Loki down?

[Alex Tweedly]

Even if you didn't get a founder's membership, it's still a reasonably 
cheap way to get access to revserver. You get decent disk and transfer 
quotas for $250 per year; getting a VPS somewhere else, plus the 
additional cost of a revserver license, is likely to come to more than that.

(disclaimer - I do have a lifetime founder's membership - so the above 
is based on a quick check of the web site, not on actual experience.)

But the on-rev client is indeed hopeless - it's crying out for some 
brave soul to take GLX2 and make it a stand-alone editor and combine it 
with an ftp (or similar) capability to sync the local and remote files. 
But until then, coda does well enough :-)
