This post is spawned from the Board Effectiveness Post

[I think]We need an easier way to share files due to the obviously expanding complexity of the projects that are being released.

I was going to make this a poll but saw little value as this topic deservse more discussion.

Who thinks we could benefit from a centralized open source repository like sourceforge.net? From what I have noticed, there have been several somewhat large projects posted to the forum in just the past week. A problem that I see is in the dissemination of the of the packages and certainly with version control.

Does anyone have the time and resources to manage such a project? We don't need a pretty website; a closely monitored FTP site would be a *great* start. If data laundering is a concern, maybe only supply the moderators with upload accounts? A web implementation of a CVS type system would be incredible, but low hanging fruit seems more attractive at this point.

Or, is this just a plain dumb idea?

Note:I haven't tried submitting a kix project to sourceforge?

Dear,

In the past Bryce gives member the possibility to use his server for storing
files. Possible that Bryce can return the current status of it.
greetings.

It would be nice if we could get these add-ons all in one place.

Henri has provided http://helpdesk.kixtart.org/ with some space and there you can find CL Utilities to download. Maybe we could get something similar.

Lonkero has been more than accomodating with me as I have no personal space to offer. It would be nice to have everything centrally located though to offer one stop shopping. I think it would really lend itself to the growth of the Kix community as well. But judging by the unpopularity of the topic so far, it seems that no one wants to be locked into that responsiblity, which is completely understandable.

Let me see about sourceforge. Maybe they will host our stuff. Certainly can't hurt to try! [Smile]

mmm...

I think we could have some site named:
gallery.kixtart.org which has nothing else but softlink to someones server.

this way the server changing or new hoster is no problem.

Only problem is that how well the design of the site should be done.
as I and propably many others makes much better kix-script than web-pages.

I've got 100Mb just sitting there [Eek!] [Eek!]
I got it for creating a High School Technical site, but have never got round to sorting out some pages.

I don't mind hosting the files and creating a few front pages for the files.

I'll have a look about uploading stuff.

nice.
also, if size is limited (which for me is no problem until more than 100Gb's needed)
we can compine pages, make some mirrors and this way the size could be enermous.

I would ask first from henry for good pointer address so we don't need to care about changes in storage place.

Must have been to do with Schumacher winning again, it's getting pretty boring now.

Anyway, to chip in the weather report, it's 72 degrees F (22 degrees Celsius) in my office (thank's to AC) and outside it's expected to rise to 93/34 with 70% humidity which is supposed to feel like 98/37. Translation: Typical jucky subtropical Boston summer weather.

I'll be on vacation for the next 10 days, please don't let this topic die...

BTW, I have not heard back from sourceforge yet...

jim, you might also try to change the topics name or just e-mail henry...

anyway, this truly is topic worth of discussing.

how to get all of the powerfull tools and scripts under one download area.

it does not have to be a page either, just a site where is somekind of structure in means of directories and such...
if you check the reskit download area, it's nothing but just simple ftp site with stuff in it.
even though the original author gives up the update, this way anyone intrested can keep a tool alive...

All this talk of a download area...
If we can't have one at kixtart.org, then what's the point? We already have several, and to add yet another IMHO serves not the community. MCA has been trying to consolidate them on his site, often I think, of his own volition. Rather than MCA trying to stay on top of them all, the author should take the initiative.

I say, ask Henri for some space and then, if he agrees, everyone that has content would send it to Henri. I mean, he already has a download area both at kixtart.org/downloads/ and helpdesk.kixtart.org/Download/ so lets just expand on that, keeping everything on the one site.

just minor thing...
henri is not going to keep up with such area actively.
like he is not with the current one.
nor with the page.

the address may be on kixtart.org, but if only one with access is henri, there will never be anything.

all, one needs is softlink.

anyway, the area needs more than just one who is able to change it.

Hmmm... I have a site, but I have not "created" the pages.

35GB and 100GB Traffic

Will try to create some pages and check into how I can handle the file uploads to the site and still maintain some kind of security.

Will get back with you upon page updates.
