Hi All,
I had a conversation with Alan Pope on mastodon about fixing some issues
on the HPR website. He makes the valid point that if we don't release
the code (because it's a mess), then it's not actually open source.

Cruel but fair. Cruel but fair.
I contend that it would be crueler to release the current code due to
the risk of eye damage that could occur.
So how to proceed ? I suggest we eliminate the problem by eliminating
the code.
My intention has always been to have a massively multiplayer online
mirroring service where anyone can have a complete instance of
everything. With a combination of git, and rsync anyone would have
everything needed to host their own complete version of the site.
We would still need to maintain the LAMP stack for the reservations and
the processing workflow, but that code is a lot easier to sanitize and
publish.
The site itself is made up of 3 parts
1. Static pages, like header, footer, howto's etc
2. Dynamic pages derived from the Database
3. Media, audio, video etc
The media and show notes are covered under the Creative Commons License.
I would suggest releasing the code under the AGPL v3 or later, and
publish it to our repo on https://repo.anhonesthost.net.
Thoughts ?
