Hi - your webcam link doesn't appear to be working so I've removed it. When It's going, let me know the URL and I'll put it back in.

- Adrian

The link still works for me, its a Java applet so it took a while to load the first time. What do you see when you go to that page? Is it a 404 for you? --TheOtherRob 21:54, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Template

Rob, I'm trying to create generic project templates. I'll try not to step on your toes. -Sebastien

np, let me know if I can help.. also, after noticing your syopedness, do you think you could unlock some of the wiki pages or give me admin rights to edit them?
shortlist of pages i'd like to edit for templates or just to bring up to date:
  • Main Page - so that it can be brought up to date/made to look more shiny (is the plan to eventually switch the main site to this home page?)
  • Darwin and all it's children (so that it can be given a template similar to Mendel)
Cheers,

Ping! You're now a 'Sysop' and 'RepRapDeveloper', via Special:Userrights. Don't use your powers for evil.  :) Also 'RepRapDeveloper' != the 'People who have been ordained and can post on the super-secret reprap mailing list', which is kind of silly, as we're going to run into scaling laws, and eventually have to hive off into working groups. No matter. When you have a chance, email me (penguin at supermeta dot delete-this-spam-bait-chunk dot com) with your meatspace name and 10 word bio, if that's ok? I like to know who's who, especially as I'm one of the primary 'keyholders' for this system.

Main Page - Thanks! Please do it in Main Page/Sandbox before rolling it over to the true Main Page. I might be hacking on some tweaks in Main Page/Sandbox/SebastienBailard, maybe.

Regarding transitioning from twiki->mediwiki, I need to set up a test server to verify we can restore from backup, and then we can transfer the twiki pages using {wget twiki -> using a tweaked perl filter script -> upload bot}. I need to work hard on user interface and social networking issues so that users want to upload their changes, files, museum artifacts, extruder improvements, frog-scans, etc. to the wiki.

I've got a long list of tweaks we need. I'll dig it up tomorrow.

I'm also trying to find some Information Science / Library System Architects. Along with trusted sysadmins, and random test-server hacker/sysadmins.

Re: Darwin - Sounds good. Let me hack up Template:Project and we can extend it to Darwin and Mendel templates.

What do you think about adding the reference and/or tutorials categories to the mediawiki sidebar, and removing the random page and all pages links? I also don't think the blog of blogs works. i don't have the rights.--Buback 19:54, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
