Kelledin, As you know Terry is having problems getting AnonFTP working on the machine where our site is currently being hosted. He did say he may be changing to a new machine running Debian -- tried installing Debian last year, and couldn't so the CDs went flying out the window, as did the Slackware CDs...had I ever tried LFS then I think my computer would go flying out the window! :) -- and he said AnonFTP will work...and so we'll have the following: ftp.inceptionos.org (currently not working for anonymous users) bugzilla.inceptionos.org (currently up and running, but because we do not have anything for testers to test there are no bugs to report; once FTP is working and we get a NEW installation interface programmer because as I said before Enrico seems to have disappeared!) cvs.inceptionos.org (CVS repository for the development branch of iOS) webcvs.inceptionos.org (web frontend for CVS) www.inceptionos.org/openwebmail/ (currently running, but we need a better way to give our Developers and Testers @inceptionos.org email accounts instead of having to login to that admin site for inceptionos.org; although I forget what the URL for it is) forums.inceptionos.org (need something like this, would like to use IPB (Invision Power Board: http://www.invisionboard.com/; it's free to use, or you could by a USD$99 license so that you can remove the "Powered by...." waste of money when it's free) www.inceptionos.org (we need to update GL to the newest version: 1.3.7 [stable]; this is a MUST, because we are still using RC2 of version 1.3.5) mailing lists for iOS, as it would be a good idea to take them locally and get them off of source forge. Some of my ideas, tell me what ones we should use!

Terry, IPB is written using PHP (and Zend I believe?), and can import the phpBB database, and IPB is very feature rich and well written...so I believe that would be the better one to use, and it is also free as well. :) Why not give the main PMs -- You (PM: Documentation and whatever else you decide to work on in the project), Me (PM: Main and whatever else I decide to work on in the project), Kelledin (PM: Packages and whatever else he decides to work on in the project), and a PM: Installation interface and whatever else that PM decides to work on when we get a new PM for that part of the project seeing as how Enrico has disappeared) -- access and install Webmin or some such program, that way we can keep OpenWebMail, and not have to use system resources to constantly forward mail to different email addresses.

Hmm - I'll have a think about that. I dislike webmin, but I'm sure there are alternatives. I'll see what can be done.

Terry, Has the move been completed to the new server yet, if so Kelledin will have to start uploading files to the server -- providing AnonFTP is working -- and we'll have to make small announcements on some Linux sites, and also advertising for more Developers positions, especially someone to code the installation interface. -- Michael Lauzon Founder & Lead Project Manager InceptionOS Project http://www.inceptionos.org/ mi...@in... -- http://www.fastmail.fm - One of many happy users: http://www.fastmail.fm/docs/quotes.html |

As far as the current ideas go... 1) I have no liking for webmail. A forwarding account=20 @inceptionos.org would be perfect; even if I an @inceptionos.org=20 inbox hosted at inceptionos.org, I'd probably just set it to=20 forward to my in-house IMAP server. I'm sure many others would=20 do so as well. 2) Forums........hmmm. I'd like the idea of forums better, if I=20 didn't keep seeing so many advisories for pre-rolled forum=20 scripts like phpBB. Any John Doe's personal bespoke forum=20 scripts (including what we might come up with) are probably just=20 as buggy and insecure, just not so widely deployed (and thus not=20 so widely exposed). I'd personally prefer newsgroups or mailing=20 lists to forums, especially since we ought to have mailing lists=20 in any case. For now, the Gestation archives will continue to grow.

Kelledin, Web-based email is good for the people -- like me currently -- who don't have a computer or 'Net access from home...although everyone except me currently has those things. IPB is really well written, and even though it is still in v1.x I find it more stable than vB and/or uBB and their counterparts. Mailing lists are good, so are newsgroups...I've just never figured out how you create one. I have announced on SF -- last week -- that we need someone to help program an installtion interface but no one has gotten back to me, so I would like it if you could also post to places that you know of asking for programmers to help with the installtion program for iOS.

Kelledin, You were talking about using pThreads -- if I remember correctly in our Linux distro -- I wonder if this is still the case. Also, I noticed that Slackware is using the 2.4.20 kernel pacthed with pTrace...I am also wondering if pTrace & pThreads are related. Also, have you found a person who can program our installation interface yet?

Kelledin, As you know 2.6 will be a while in coming, so let's add NGPT to our distro, remember we want to be somewhat distinct from other distros, and I think that NGPT will do that for us...I don't know of any other that is using NGPT. I am still looking for the programmer myself, so far no luck as well. By the way, just out of morbid curiousity -- and yes I know 'Curiousity killed that cat, but the cat came back the very next day, the cat came back I thought he was a goner -- where are you from, because you have such a cool name, sounds like something out of a fantasy novel?!
