Hi Drakino.

Sounds good.
More out of curiosity than anything else: How much badwidth is available at that site?
I don't think the empeg site would exceed 64kbps on average, but I can easily imagine it to use 2Mbps on hours with high traffic. Especially if that site is really helpful for empeg users and if the developers get more active.

It's on a full T1 near the backbone. Most of the time, that bandwith sits unused, so it shouldn't be a problem. The one time that I did see it flodded was when another site on that server had a rather popular application. (16 gigs per day, for a bit over a week). If somehow the site gets more popular then that, we may have to move it then .

It sounds like we have at least 2 good offers for space/bandwidth on each side of the Pond...so what about mirroring the site for faster local access? Surely the site won't go over a couple hundred megs, for a while, so a nightly / bi-nightly refresh wouldn't be so bad.
Sound good?

Hi.

My opinion is that we should get _one_ site up and running, then we can worry about mirroring.

I would like to help with graphic design. Did'nt like much thiese previous design samples. But it will take a little time to design some sample. I'm not good at programming so if you like my design then somebody else should make it dynamic.

What happened to this initiative? Is there not enough interest?

What happened to this initiative? Is there not enough interest?

No, actually, Drakino is working very hard on getting a full-featured site together as we speak. I'm even working on categorizing and HTML-izing the FAQ for it.

Sorry if this was a give-away, Drakino.

Sorry if this was a give-away, Drakino.

No problem. Status right now:

The FAQ is working, and as Tony said, he is getting content into it.

The install gallery is working, but needs some tweaking to get it automated the way I want.

The logo site has not been merged in, that will happen sometime after the opening.

Submit news works. Great for reporting major things from here and other places.

I'm still working on how the developer information will work. I may either do a FAQ like system, or a news posting type system. Depends on what is easier to hack to the needs of the page. Or a wikki as well may be put in, as suggested elsewhere.

Downloads works, but I still need to finish up the categories. I also need an easy to use upload system, as currently it just links to some other server.

@riocar.org e-mail addresses. I'm still thinking about the easiest way to do this. I know for sure it's just going to be a redirect to a real address.

I'm hoping for a launch without some features tomorrow. I'll post here when it is up. The address will be http://www.riocar.org

Sounds cool. If you need anymore design work or icons let me know.

Tom

I'm probably a little late with this, but better late than never. I'm available to help with anything as well.

Hmm,

Say, drakino, what email system do you use/intend to use? qmail, sendmail, ...?
I could help if it is one of the mentioned ones, but not with any other (like postfix etc.).
As for the developer infos: I would really either use a (structured) FAQ-like system or use a hardcoded structure altogether. As much as I like the concept of Wikkis, or many other systems for that matter, I don't think it would be useful for developer info. Wikkis are really cool if you know exactly what you are looking for (or just want to browse a web of keywords from a known starting point), but horrible to get a quick overview.

Waiting patiently for the site. How is it going? Is it close to previewing/launching?

Alex Lear

Hi.

Would like to see drakino's site, too.
My own website is now officially openend (though probably never finished) at http://www.incase.de. It is mostly in german though, except for the empeg part.

It's slowly coming togther. I really don't want to throw dates out, but it should be soon.
