Re: [Lcd4linux-devel] [Lc­d4linux-devel] website broken, offline doc

[Matt J. <mat...@gm...>]

Before taking on any significant work to provide an offline copy, perhaps
estimate how much need there is.
If you know the typical monthly page views, and know the typical minutes of
outage each month, you could calculate the estimated impact.

frequently, this conversation will be more useful.

Here's a couple of options:
- Move to a service that has better uptime
- Somehow package up the wiki, and ask for users to seed it as a torrent (I
would)
- Use multiple services

Personally, I think an offline copy is treating a symptom, not the root
cause.
This is 2015, offline can be avoided.

BTW - I was playing with a Raspberry Pi this week and was able to get my
4x20 LCD up and running in about 20 mins with LCD4LINUX.
Good job.

I submitted a patch years ago, I don;t think it was ever incorporated, for
a SURE LD023 lcd.
