Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

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.

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

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.

Mathair & Athair beo.

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?

bitterchick - Apr 12, 2003 4:50:30 pm PDT #3780 of 10000

Will do.

Hi, I'm back.

ita, my profile address is public now. Feel free to send me the database schema (and the code, if you want and doesn't take too much space).

(Edit: and I'd also need to know which versions of MySQL and PHP we are using, as well as any special settings (php.ini style ones) that the code relies on).

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Natters one through six, although I haven't put six up yet. I'm going to try to do a couple more tonight. I just about had seven ready to suck, but all the fixes got wiped out by the last crash.
