[ome-users] Server field in webadmin, webclient is redundant

[Aleksandra Tarkowska]

Hi Mario

OMERO.web is a separated Client Application distributed with the  
OMERO.server package and started with the Django lightweight  
development Web server (the demonstration version is only to easy  
test the application). On the production mode we recommend to run  
this application on apache mod_python (how to do it:  http:// 
www.openmicroscopy.org/site/documents/data-management/omero4/server/ 
install-web) or different.

This application can be run on the different machine and can work  
against many OMERO.servers (the list of servers can be easily defined  
in local database).

I agree with Paulo if list contains only one server, it should be  
selected as default and I am going to fix soon.

Thanks
Ola
