Re: [DQSD-Users] dqsd.net webmaster?
I agree 100%. Part of the erason I stopped actively developing public
searches for DQSD was that it was near impossible to get changes to the
site. I'm not a publicity hound, but I do like to have my efforts
published when I devote my time to something like this. The current site
is very early 21st century, so is lacking a lot of features that
should be available on most current sites.

Hi all,
I think we should just have dqsd.sourceforge.net as the main
page - we can see if Dave will redirect dqsd.net back to
dqsd.sourceforge.net. I changed the home page to
dqsd.sourceforge.net, uploaded the files in dqsdweb to the
htdocs for dqsd project and it seems to work. Note, I have
not tried every page and every link - also you'll have to
clear your browser cache as the old index page on the dqsd
htdocs site redirects to dqsd.net
I can easily change it back to the way it was but that way
wasn't working and I like the idea of having the dsqdweb
files hosted on sourceforge so that all the admins can mess
with it and avoid the problems we're currently experiencing.
Your thoughts?
Brent

Hi Tom,
I think the most pressing concern is that we seem to have
lost control of dqsd.net -- updates aren't bubbling through
as they should, and we don't know who has access to the host.
- There is a wiki (now defunct, apparently, I can't get to
the pages) for developers at SourceForge. Would a user-facing
wiki be valuable?
- Feature requests can be made at SourceForge. I agree it's
not as appealing as the link you posted.
My life is busy with two small children, and I don't have all
that much time to develop DQSD, but I'd love to see it grow, too. :)
If we could get the infrastructural problems sorted, maybe we
could kickstart development again, starting with a proper 4.1
release, and then look into the various issues we have?

There are problems which need to be addressed, such as
the load time when a new google is done, which is often a lot
slower that doing a search in the google bar in the open
browser. I still get the startup IE error. Shawn has
suggested other things in the past which would improve
things: http://bit.ly/shawndqsd and http://bit.ly/shawnxml
Some other ideas to continue the brainstorming:
- turn dqsd.net into a wiki
- add a proposed new feature section (such as linking
one search to different a browser, floating toolbar, Logins
with authentication code, etc) and let people vote like on
http://digsbies.org/site/wishlist
- add a blog
Lots of people out there work on open source software,
dqsd needs more exposure to get more users for that to
happen. We can start that by linking up the buzz we already
have, e.g. adding links to posts such as David Blume's
http://dblume.livejournal.com/65402.html

Hi,
Does anyone know who runs/has control over dqsd.net? Is
the domain still
David Bau's?
I am wondering as I would like to make a change on the
http://www.dqsd.net/contrib/ since a domain of mine
listed there has
changed and will be expired in less than 30 days.
I am not a member of the -devel list so am just
emailing this user list.
Maybe the access could be opened up and we could update
the site?
Thanks, Tom.

Brent, Thanks for doing that, great idea! If Dave agrees to the redirect then this is a big start in the right direction. Tom.
