...yes (to Massimo's comment), and what I'm thinking is something like the background separate server that has no views, but rather accepts remote calls from other web2py apps to process asyncchronously;
achipa want to do cleanup; someone else may want to send notification emails from a separate collector of notification events (not just a simple e-mailer); ... and so on... so lighter weight than XML-RPC, but in that general concept... Anyway, that's how I was thinking of this - and I don't know if it makes sense, would be useful. I was just thinking out load, exploring what _might_ make sense....
