Varies, 4.3.8 on my home server at the moment, and 4.3.10  and 5.0.x
on my public servers.

Also, been updating http://fofredux.sf.net

check it out if you get a chance and let me know what you think. We
need some better 'copy' for the front page/about.

Good to know.  There was a problem where Carlos's timestamp patch didn't
work correctly under php4.  Just something to keep in mind.  Me more then
others probably, because I don't have php4 install to code/test to.

Looks good. I like the about blurb.  The drop shadow on the header image
doesn't look right, thought.  What do you say to removing it altogether?=20
It would fit better with the flat rectangles used throught the page.

It depends who you ask. :)

# /usr/local/bin/php -v

Copyright (c) 1997-2003 The PHP Group

# /usr/bin/php -v

(The 4.4.0-2 version is the one corresponding to a Debian package.)

# which php
/usr/local/bin/php

# which php4
/usr/bin/php4

This will sound like a stupid question, but if I have
multiple php installations, how can I tell which php binary
is being invoked by apache (i.e., which search path does
apache use)?

I usually create a page called phpinfo.php with the following contents:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

It outputs all sorts of info reguarding the php environment including
version, variables, constants, loaded modules, etc.  Very useful.

A vast improvement.

My observations:

I think people will be confused when they click on 'demo' and get a
username/password prompt.

Screenshots are always good.

Extreme nitpicking here: Our page says redux is pronounced (r-dks);
I'm guessing that was a paste where the special pronunciation
characters didn't go through because they were actually images.  
Maybe the thing to do is copy dictionary.reference.com's HTML:
r<IMG 
SRC="http://cache.lexico.com/dictionary/graphics/AHD4/GIF/emacr.gif"
height="15" width="7" ALIGN="BOTTOM">-d<IMG 
SRC="http://cache.lexico.com/dictionary/graphics/AHD4/GIF/ubreve.gif"
height="20" width="7" ALIGN="BOTTOM">ks

Ugly, but it does the job.

On a weightier note, I think our site has to address not just the
question 'Why is a server side aggregator better than a desktop
aggregator?' but also 'Why is this server side aggregator better 
than other server side aggregators, like Google Reader?'

My personal answer to that question is that it gives the user more
control.  FeedOnFeeds gives you more ways to browse and handle your 
feed items; in particular, you can see multiple feed items on a page 
(want to see all the new items at once? all the items from a 
particular source?  all the items in your "friends" category?). And 
it doesn't automatically mark items as read once they appear on your 
screen, which suits my browsing style.

I'm not saying my answer should be on the site, but I think it is
something we should consider answering.

Hello,

I just joined the mailing list and found the site you are discussing
above. I am not a developer but rather an end user who has been using
FeedonFeeds for some time.

I did click on the button mentioned above and did not know what to do
when presented with the username/password dialog.

I'd like to help testing. Is there a build I can download to help the proje=
ct?

-Miles

The username/password for the demo is just in place for the immediate
time being, since the demo has write access to the db. Let's add a few
more feeds/categories and then I'll change it to the read-only db user
and remove the password protection to the demo.

Thanks for the feedback Katie - I had meant to fix the pronunciation
output. And I'll try to write up some more copy based on your
recommendations.

Thanks
Andy
