Hi All, The Novell iFolder Wiki is being moved to a production server under Novell IS&T for better maintenance and high availability. We will hear soon after the migration is done. Meanwhile we are welcome to add to the wiki, so that the new data can be migrated once the new server is up and running.
This is other reason why there are no updates to the Wiki. The first phase movement is over, and is undergoing some testing, so we should have it up soon. Thanks for all your help in iFolder, Novell needs the community for mutual growth. Currently there is less activity from Novell in the community due to closure of huge list of pending bugs in iFolder, the whole team is working day and night testing and fixing issues, so that we have a stable build that can be provided to the community and take is forward from there. Due to the wiki movement, the daily build server is currently off. We are working on a way to get builds to the community. I should heartily thank Jan-Simon for providing builds. Also others for helping in various build and setup issues. IMO, we as Novell are working to get a stable build to the community as that has been the major concern in the community. It would be great if the community can help us provide support for other flavors of Linux like CentOS, FC and others, as we do not have resource to look at those issues. We will share more in forth-coming mails. Thanks, Kalis >>> Jan-Simon Möller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 07/10/07 2:40 PM >>> Hi all ! My thoughts ... on the wiki-spam thread - applies to the whole iFolder "project". SRI, but it's that simple: if "Novell" want's a "Community" to do some work on a wiki, _we_ (=both) need to have the technical requirements (=good functioning wiki) and _we_ need communication (to share ideas/positions/information). I attended some of the openSUSE status meetings and i really think that's the way to go. No one wants to prevent novell from making money (ok, competitors maybe ;) ... but at least no one out of the community committed to the several projects) - so fantastic that iFolder is part of OES2 - great to have a professional solution for that. But why is there no communication ... ? The code is GPLed so that's no secret. That's more likely the integration in eDir and the management interface in OES2. I really know the team in Bangalore is busy (OES2). So don't feel blamed by my writing here. My intention is more likely to establish a good way where you (devs/novell) profit from an active community and we (community) get a fascinating piece of software in return. My thoughts about iFolder is that it's a great software, but it needs more publicity. This means more users. If they feel comfortable with it (and i've no doubt they will), this also leads to more bussiness for novell because companies then use it and need solutions for their environments. So why not create a community and use word of mouth propaganda _in addition to_ the typical marketing. So these were my 2 cent on the situation ... what are your's ?
