Working on mod_virgule now, and raph has
perused through my patch archive. This included him seeing
a rather flippant comment about a quick hack I inserted to
make something work. I hope he didn't take it the wrong
way, but I realize now that when you're treading in the
tracks of your elders, it's wise to show a little respect.
raph, I think Advogato as it
stands is just
about ideal for its purpose. It's a community for free
software developers, and the projects et cetera are
targetted toward that sort of group. Adding additional
rooms to this forum would be out of place, IMHO. Do one
thing, and do it well.
If,
however, you wanted to make Advogato its own room, inside a
larger board, I imagine that would be fairly well received.
But perhaps your best bet is to virtual host a new site
with new
users. I would like to end up with something that can
continue to run Advogato more or less as it exists today,
perhaps with a few extra amenities, but something which is
also capable of
supporting a larger BBS-like site with multiple topical
message boards.
Wouldn't it be cool if the rooms could be distinguished by
virtual host name? books.advogato.org, rants.advogato.org,
what have you. Then www.advogato.org could be what it is
right now.
