00:37 <JacobWeisz[m]> I think my App Index thought largely sits on the concept that if it provides authoritative app metadata for a server to use, it shouldn't be owned by a random user?

00:42 <isd> I see some use cases where you might want to be able to spin up a normal grain even if you're not the admin of a server. e.g. if & when we get to the point where sandstorm is popular enough for there to be a significant load on the central app market, it would e neat if people could set up mirrors (the way many linux distros have them) just by spinning up a grain on their Sandstorm box and sharing an api url.

00:43 <isd> Conceptually, there's no reason why Sandstorm's setting for where to find the app index has to care that much about what the app index is.

00:44 <JacobWeisz[m]> It is also weird for larger Sandstorm servers if "ownership" is locked to one admin of an important service. Grain transfers and better permissions can help with that, but it's still a little odd?

00:44 <JacobWeisz[m]> I suppose that is fair, I am less trying to argue for it as explain where my thought came from.
