Ilija Studen:
I really don't know why do they need 2 days to get things back online :(

Because they're all slightly burned out, and slightly tired of the hastle, and slightly cynical.

But think of this: the failure could be more mysterious, more expensive, and more mission critical! As I learned it, "Relax! Better to break big bones than little ones!"

;-P

nils:
just shout if you need some webspace for development use. i could spare 1-2 TB traffic/month if you need.

Sweet ... can put that to use, I bet we can! *grin*

Ilija? I was gonna point you to http://developer.berlios.de/ ... I suspect they differ from SForge in some fundamentals.

cheers

p.s.:
Ilija Studen:
TextDrive temporary suspended all "active" parts of the website (including the demo) because of the heavy load (aC god dugg and featured on Techcrunch).


Not 2 hours ago I exchanged notes with the NCSA grad who created HyperNews in the mid90s, chatting about "fear and loathing | dread of success" (Ilija and I back-channel as well) and snickered about the consequences of being /.'d ... and thus it is, and thus it is. heh

Space and BW are not the problem. Problem was that current server was brought down with the concentrated traffic from Digg. I really don't know why do they need 2 days to get things back online :( Load is pretty normal now.

BenTrem:
Traditionally that [''demo site''] is listed along with Download and Documents and FAQ, yes?

Your 100% right. Only page with demo access is homepage. I'll change this soon.

Looking at HomePage again just now ... "Download" should be demoted, I think; it monopolizes the most important area. (Latest user tests confirm that appreciation of the page begins upper-left and proceeds downward in a ragged Z shape, with only slight attention to the right. "Users don't read" remains painfully true.)

This lists typical active projects at SourceForge that manifest the convention:
OpenCYC; NxBRE; YALE; refdb.sourceforge.net; inkscape.org.

Ilija Studen:
BenTrem:
have you looked at / used netvibe.com?

Yes, I use Netvibes as my aggregator. One of the best web apps today. Great interface, everything works as expected. Great stuff.

Fabulous. I know of no project management / tracking system that makes such good use of techniques, but can think of no good reason for this to be so. "It's the shoemakers' children who are last to get shoes." The early Netscape used the concept of "dogfood" i.e. developments that helped the process of developing the ''end product''. I think a really fine AJAX GUI should be considered dogfood. (Hope this isn't inappropriately philosophical in this forum.) I suspect that ZK will be easily sufficient for good prototypes.

nothing else on the page references or even hints that there is an operational demo site. Traditionally that is listed along with Download and Documents and FAQ, yes?

p.s. have you looked at / used netvibe.com? I've tried/used other AJAX desktop-style aggregators ... netvibe has a very nice feel to it. Cognitive ergonomics, yes? (Many years ago Japanese UI designers were talking about "pride of ownership". *shrug* I think it's a sweet idea.)
