Michael Zuckerwitz does have a certain ring to it.

Hey, when one of you slackers does get around to re-doing the web interface, 
can you add a "Like" button? Because it's a crime that I can't "like" this

if that's the case then future generation will be 0.5% related to micheal

I'm not sure what an extra circular activity is, but I guess it has
something to do with having 300 kids!

You could always create a Gmail account for mailing lists and, if you
wanted it to come to your desktop, just configure the extra account in
your mail client. The mail interface to HoF is certainly a lot more
palatable than the web interface so I suspect the vast majority of
subscribers use mail directly...

Re: who's in charge around here?

2011-03-22 Thread Michael Dinowitz

Zac,

Upgrading the site has been on my 'todo' list forever but it takes second
place to things like these lists, etc. The colors and UI are about 10 years
out of date and are in dire need for an upgrade. If you have an idea or two
on UI, I'd be very happy to look at it. I might not be great at creating
graphics/UI, but once given a design, I can make it work within a pixel.

I'll deal a bit with speed a little later today. I'm moving the JVM around,
upgrading to the latest release, and reading a few docs on better garbage
collection. It'll all help.

As for hosting, the site actually has very high mail traffic besides the
website itself and hosting is being provided by ahphosting.com (formerly
cfhosting.com). They've been supporting the site(s) for quite a few years
now.

I appreciate the offer of help. Cash is always nice, but hands on help comes
from the heart.

Thanks

yes good point. i try not to respond directly via email because of my email 
header/footer. I use my work email address for everything which is unrelated to 
any web dev work that i do.

I work for MI5 so i wouldn’t want people to find out :-), oops!

>Are you volunteering to help MD with a new design?

yes i'd love to be involved. not sure i'd like sole responsibility though as i 
am still a bit of a newbie

anyone else willing to put their name on a list?

Perhaps you'd better enjoy the mailing list vs. the web interface?

The person in charge is Michael Dinowitz. He's kick ass, but busy with about
300 children and tons of extra circular activities. To a newb it may seem
like the site is in disrepair, but it's still serving a wonderful purpose. I
(like many) don't even see the site anymore. I just follow it through the
mailing list subscriptions.

Are you volunteering to help MD with a new design?

who's in charge around here?

2011-03-22 Thread zac wingfield

having just recently found H.O.F ive used it a few times. there are some really 
helpful, knowledgeable guys monitoring these lists and I’ve received some 
great help from the CF Newbie list.

however the web site needs some attention. it's slow to respond and poorly 
presented.

why are all the adverts over on the right hand side? they take up a whole 
quarter of the page.

why must we be subscribed to each list before we can post?

when viewing a thread sometime it's all displayed, other times i have to 
refresh the page, cant quite work it out.

considering how much experience there is floating around here i guess i just 
expected it to be a little bit better put together.

I know communities like this are normally built up from people either donating 
their time or cash so, if it's needed, I’d like to volunteer hosting 
services. I'll have a new server online within a couple of weeks. let me know 
if you're interested.

Z
