[Slashcode-general] HaXlash: Slashcode Revival Project

[Marc G. F. <sc...@hu...>]

Okay, I suck at subjects, but hopefully it caught some eyes ...

We are slowly moving forward on plans to revitalize / revive SlashCode ... 
as per Rob and Jamie's recommendations, we are rebranding completely to 
avoid any potential trademark related issues ... as such, we are naming 
the new project: HaXlash (pronounced: Hack-Slash)

Shane is dealing with getting the repo setup at GitHub, with instructions 
on how to access the repo to follow shortly ... the repo is based on the 
last available code from the slashcode report, minus that error at the end 
of the clone (benign error, but it fooled me at the time) ...

I've setup a set of mailing lists @haxlash.org that we encourage ppl to 
subscribe to and either lurk or get involved ... we will be cross-posting 
major announcements to this list for hte next little while, but 
discussions themselves will happen over there ...

The lists are:

    haxlash-hackers ... for those developing
    haxlash-general ... for those using
    haxlash-commits ... for those that want to follow commits to github
    haxlash-announce ... hopefully this one is obvious?

The lists are all setup so that only subscribers can post, so as to 
minimize / eliminate potential for spam ...

I am also setting up MediaWiki to give us an environment to build docs on, 
especially as pertains the myriad of distros that ppl out there are using 
... nice thing about MediaWiki, everyone can get involved with 
documentation ...

Although my personal goal is to get things working with both PostgreSQL 
*and* Apache 2.2, I am setting up the main site right now on Apache 
1.3+MySQL, so that we have a main site running Slashcode ...
