This is great, but I think the best place to put this stuff is the
dev center at www.witango.com. It is the first place people are going
to look. don't you think?
I think this is great, if a bunch of people come out of the woodwork
and start pulling resources for the dev community, then that is a
great thing!
So lets go Phil, get that developer.witango.com site working
properly, and tell us what we can do to put all our code resources on
there.
And make a section for people to put up code resources that they may
want to charge for. Maybe a serious tool they wrote, that they don't
want to give away, but charge a reasonable license fee for.
Provide a way for them to do this. I still can't even log in.
I personally would commit to taking down my tools, and add several
more over a period of time if this is done.
If we all find stuff to get up there, it will look like we have a
thriving dev community again. Lets Go! :-)

I think it's a great idea to use sourceforge -- better visibility,
a full complement of tools, it's the first place most of us turn
for open source stuff. And it's counter-productive to have our
components behind a password on developer.witango.com. Even if we
had the holy grail there, google wouldn't find it.
But before we go too far, I think it would be worthwhile for the
community to choose one (hopefully only one) of the myriad open
source licenses. Then we need to provide agree standard header to
go in our files that identifies the pertinent license, author(s) etc.
I agree that a community-based project is appropriate. Of course
each successful project needs a leader, so thanks for jumping out
in front Jason. One way to approach development would be to use
the witango-talk list to solicit contributions in specific areas
(eg. authentication, markup, groups, moderation, skins, RSS,
installation scripts, etc.) Hopefully we could use this to
demonstrate the benefits of TCFs.
Also, someone needs to choose the database(s) that would be
supported, which I think should be open source as well.

Kevin -
Fantastic start (I would be the John Doe update to the test
account.) This is just the sort of thing that I think we've all
been looking fore. There are some things I'd love to see - and
help add - to make it even better. Many of the things I was
noticing are simple little things about interface stuff; not
substantial work. If you're game to add it I'm sure that it would
quickly evolve. The search functionality would be one area to work
on, and then some sort of 'embeddable code' for embedding links
and such in the posts would be another area. In many of the boards
I've seen it's done with simpler stuff than just pasting in HTML
(and therefore safer for the system) and could look something like
[url]http://somelinkhere.com[/url] being replaced by the html to
make the link active. This would be a good start, and of course
adding smily faces. (Cheesy, but everyone's got that.... )
I've submitted a request to add Witango to the list of Programming
languages, so that when a project goes live you can add that as a
reference for searchability within the system. I can guarantee you
that if you put that up I will help with the things I've
mentioned, as I'm sure others will as well.
Thanks for sharing that.

And here's my gauntlet-throw-down: a good threaded message
board. We've
all needed one at one time or another, and many different ones
exist.
But if we had a solid community effort to pull one together modeled
after some of the more popular ones (vBulletin, for one) it
would be a
big plus, along with the Polling and Secure Content Management
projects
that Witango has put out there (it would be great if those could
go up
there as well perhaps, along with the blog module?)
