Thanks; gotcha.
OK, Karl can't do it, and msbelle, who offered weeks ago to research the issue, is not available. Why not just use sourceforge.net, then?
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't think she has the tech resources to do it.
Sourceforge requires you be an open source project, and going down that road would need a whole lot more discussion. Personally, I don't want to be open source.

But the fact was that she offered to go out and do the research. It wouldn't take tech know-how to be told "find out about X, Y, and Z, and report back." And given that we have more enthusiasts than experts, we should probably allow and encourage people to do things like that, rather than having people offer to do work and not take them up on it.
The open-source question is for another day, I guess: my gut instinct is that it'd be nice to let other people not have to reinvent the wheel if they're ever in our pre-Phoenix shoes, but I'll admit I haven't thought the matter through at all.

What research needed to be done? I think I'm confused, then.
Requirements gathering -- happening here. The other step is to volunteer to code, or to code control, neither of which she was going to do, if I interpret correctly.

To actually find a place to host the CVS repository and get it up and running, which it was my understanding was what was lacking.

Ah. Her offer in msbelle "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Mar 20, 2003 11:24:31 am EST didn't mean that to me.
Really, finding a place -- Kristen's working on it, at the moment. And we have a stopgap solution. It's not bottlenecking us.
Paul, when you come back, your e-mail address is hidden in your profile. I'd like to send you the ERD for the database, and also add you to the developer mailing list.

ita, I apologise. I didn't mean to cause any offence.

We got CVS. I'm trying to figure out how to set up the repository now. Anyone with thoughts or suggestions can hit me up on IM: KristenSGC.

Excellent. Maybe if you drop Karl a line he'll have time to give you a heads up.
DX -- how many threads did you say you'd archived?

Will do.
