If there are any Windows users out there that need to know how to set up
scheduler (the Windows equivalent of crontab), I've set it up on my machine,
and I can help people out with it.

Doing the aggregation / syndication stuff as NNTP doesn't make much sense

perfect for this kind of things. It forces us to create the network to be
far simpler and open than if we did it with NNTP - and that is a very good

I am sorry for misunderstanding what you guys where pushing for. I read
the majority of this thread in a pretty stupored state, and then the rest
of it i read quickly before I rushed off to lunch. I was under the
mistaken impression that there was support for using the actual NNTP
protocol over
Doing the mailinglist as Usenet is a very interesting idea. The problem
is, obviously, spam. But - being able to quickly browse / hop around all
the different mailing lists would be a very useful thing.
I don't think we could use NNTP to do it though unless we used it to just
mirror the mails.

I'd like to avoid javascript if at all possible. Doing stuff server side is almost
always better.
We are looking for flexibility and easy administration.

If the news servers can sync with the mailing lists and
the servers could be managed and payed for by in kind donations
(unnoficial campaigners) then it sounds wonderful to me. Run with it man -
hash it out on the wiki, get some devs, and build the sucker.
thats my advice ;)

On Tue,
This looks to me like a perfect venue for web services.

Believe me, I know just enough javascript to get by and that's about
all. I'm all about the server personally.
Easy control for DFA ===* javascript, since it's extremely easy to push
Well, I'm trying to catch up on everything that happened over the weekend
while I was off at the folk music festival.
So, I'm sorry if I'm covering things that have already been covered, but I
would like to throw in my two cents here.
Zephyr, I respectfully disagree with you on the importance of
Aldon,
I think you're missing part of the picture here. DeanSpace (e.g.
volunteer effort, community websites, blogs, etc) and the Deanster
application (hosted and operated by the campaign directly) are
logically separate. Deanster wouldn't include blogs for users, though
it could include a

I see at as two different kinds of connection we are trying to enable:
(1) end to end individuals(friendster)
(2) end to end group to group (blogging --deanspace)
Both are critical. The latter is distributed, the former is centralized,
and they work together. The former is simple, and
After some talking with Moshe, sidebar.module has become a much simpler
make_block.module. The new module will fit into Drupal much better. The design doc is
at:
http://www.hack4dean.org/phpwiki/index.php?make_block
This page is a bit sparse on implementation details and heavy on design issues
Right now we have a CVS module for every module we are doing a lot of work on and some
defunct modules. At some point we should move to having an entire Drupal distribution
which will become our kit in CVS. SourceForge's CVS servers are quite busy and we may
want to consider hosting this
I've made some small changes to endorse.module, namely, adding a block
routine. It's just a simple, hey you, endorse Howard! I also changed
it from tell a friend to send a Deanagram. Which can of course be
changed back if it's Just Too Damn Goofy.

I was missing the the terminology and the differentiation between 'Deanster'

for any sort of online community building tool to facilitate interaction

I checked out the adc theme on the drupal site earlier...and I really
