 Dear Community,

 For nearly two month there was no update from www.opkg.org. The reason
 for it is pretty simple: I had no time to develop anything for the
 website. At the moment there's a whole lot going on around here.
 However, I'm really pleased, that there are already 100+ packages in the
 database. Thanks to everyone who made this possible.

Hi Tobias!

It's great to see you publishing the source code but it's pity to see
the reason that you don't have time to work on opkg.org.

I really hope there's someone who's willing  has the skills to start
working on opkg.org.

Could you:
a) Write a post on the opkg.org blog about the release
b) Start a project for this in projects.openmoko.smthng

I really hope this is a new start, opkg.org is a too good idea to die!

Hi Risto

That I don't have time to work on opkg.org doesn't mean that it is going 
to die.
I will still work on it, but there won't be as much progress than we 
have seen the past few month.

A blogpost is in the pipeline (not published yet, but will be tomorrow) 
and I'll think about projects.openmoko.smthng, thanks for the idea.

Regards,
Tobias

www.opkg.org ‒ source code released!

2009-02-21 Thread Tobias Kündig
Dear Community,

For nearly two month there was no update from www.opkg.org. The reason 
for it is pretty simple: I had no time to develop anything for the 
website. At the moment there's a whole lot going on around here. 
However, I'm really pleased, that there are already 100+ packages in the 
database. Thanks to everyone who made this possible.

But there are still some features needed, like a better comment system 
with email notifications, for example.

So it wondered what I could do to solve this problem. Finding a solution 
then was pretty simple: There are lots of great web developers out 
there, people who know a whole lot more than I do. So I decided to 
publish the opkg.org source code. This way _anyone_ can help developing 
new features for www.opkg.org. I'm sure there are some great developers 
with great ideas out there.

If you want to help developing www.opkg.org, head over to 
http://www.opkg.org/developer.html and get the latest snapshot.

If there are questions, please feel free to contact me.
I hope that this will help making www.opkg.org even better than it is 
today ;)!
