Sorry to barge in on your discussion: I have a Google Alert set for Surftrackr and this one dropped into my Inbox this morning.
I will probably resume Surftrackr development in the next few weeks, although I'm not guaranteeing anything. In the meantime, I'm about to upload a VMWare image of a full, working installation to the VMWare Applications Marketplace. Granted, it's a chunky download, but it takes about 6 steps to set it up rather than 60. I would have uploaded the image yesterday but there's a security problem with the VMWare website (it shows me someone else's profile and username when I log in!) Until they fix that, I can't do anything about this. I basically stopped taking feature suggestions earlier this year because people tend to come along with shopping lists, and some of them didn't know how to take "no" (or even "maybe later") for an answer. I'm more keen to work on making Surftrackr faster and more stable, rather than adding new features. Good news is that I'm now working in a school myself, so I have a daily need to run something like Surftrackr, so I have more motivation to enhance it. I would also welcome co-developers: Python and Django are dead easy to use, and don't take a long time to learn. Hope that helps. If you'd like to know when the VMWare image is available, let me know. -- Simon Burns On Oct 24, 11:58 pm, "Wayne Fay" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > example of the last category:surftrackr.net.
