[ANet-devel] No meeting this week :-(

[Benoit N. <be...@ma...>]

Sorry, but I don't have enough time this week to do anything more than
uploading the chat log of the previous week and writing this email.

The log is in the private section of the site
(http://anet.sourceforge.net/private/). If you haven't already set up a
password for the site, use your password for the hotline server I sent you
last week. To change your password for the site, log in with ssh (with your
user name and 3des encryption, of course) on anet.sourceforge.net, and type
"htpasswd -m /home/groups/a/an/anet/site_passwords username", but with
username changed to the user name you want.

I will try to set up a perl-based chat so that everyone just need to use a
web browser to chat for next week, so that ajaya can participate. If you
have any suggestion on how we can do this, tell me. My schedule for next
week is crazy, and I won't have much time to set it up. Chris told me that
he is able to host a web server on his computer, but he has a 15KByte
upload limit.

So, if you find a neat chat system that could work through firewalls (or in
http), tell me.

Hi-
There is a great piece of software called PerlMUD. It is designed to be 
a MUD (Multi User Dungeon/Domain), but it is excellent simply as a place 
to chat. What's more, you can connect to it with plain http, a java 
client, or telnet. Benoit, contact me if you want me to set it up for us.

Hello Benad,

I have a suggestion. Basically, I feel that I might not be able to keep
up with the weekend chats. From the chat logs, I get a feeling that the
others might have the same problem. Will it be a good idea to have a
bulletin board on the website instead. Sourceforge provides the 'Public
Forums', which we can use in this case.

What do others say?

It's already there:
http://anet.sourceforge.net/forum/

It's much better than sourceforge's, though there are some small bugs here
and there (problems with IE5 with the login, for example)...

I'll set up everything tomorrow, including passwords, and a workaround for
IE5 (though the login will be less "secure" but without encryption, who
cares).

I already opened a "General Discussion" forum that you can start using
right now.

The forum requires a browser that can do some basic javaScript. (works with
NS 3.0 and up, IE 4 and up, and iCab)
