Re: [Slashcode-general] SlashTNG, for lack of better suggestions ...

[Shane Z. <sh...@lo...>]

Given the name change, the repo has been rebooted:

https://github.com/lottadot/slashtng

No 'live' branch. Just master. Please clone.

Also, if I were you, I would consider using existing, free tools out there for the project, such as:

1. A Google Groups list for it.
2. Github provides a wiki -- but I can't really vouch for it myself.
3. an registered irc channel on freenode.
4. a homepage that spells all that out, ie http://www.browsercms.org/
5. And I don't know that I'd use slashcode for announcements et all for the site, but rather use the google groups for that stuff, and use the VM as a "usable demo site" that auto-rebuild itself once/day that anyone can login and play around in. Personally, I love when open source projects do that, so you can, within 2 minutes of reading about the project, go and play around with it, rather then spending a half hour installing and setting up.

$.02.
