The initial software implementation that Andrew Stein was developing did not depend on a central server, and I am fairly confident from other discussions that none would be necessary for our purposes. Even if so, we can certainly do it in a way that would not put their work under our control. We should speak further to additional hackers on this.

In the Google presentation that on Slide 7, Really Low Costs, there is a statement I do not have great confidence in:

"There will be no central server for Project PM."  I don't have the technical understanding to justify this statement, and I am wondering if a large complex network can in fact exist entirely parasitically.

However, if there is a server, then our relationships with all Project PM readers and their network activity will involve a server we control, and that information is there to be exploited for revenue purposes, although I suspect that to do so before Project PM is fully mature would kill the project.
