Weblog entry #160 for Steve
See all weblog entries made by Steve.
As of todays renewals I'm now fully up to date with:
Right now they all point to the same place, which I can't help thinking is a little bit of waste.
Suggestions for fun uses for them are welcome. I was half tempted to setup a wiki again now we have more users, but I remember when that didn't work out so I'm thinking there isn't much point.
I'd be tempted to setup a jabber server too - and give all registered users a login, but I'm not sure if that would be more useful than an IRC server. Talking of which ..? IRC channel? Yay, or nay?
I'm a little uncreative today - I've spent too many hours working on xen-tools and xen-shell and I'm wiped out.
On the plus side all the hacking means the two projects are now nicely integrated, and will work together perfectly.
The only other thing that I did today was plan on getting all the outgoing mails this site sends GPG-signed by default. That will need to wait until Etch is stable since I will be using several perl modules which aren't available for Sarge, but I'm thinking it is a good thing to do.
The more people who use GPG the better ..
Comments on this Entry
Perhaps a really useful thing to do would be to take the current articles on DA.org and use them as a framework. Imagine a wiki with sensible navigation, and were a topic has an article on the DA.org (or other site) you link to it. That way you don't have to create any new work, just link to existing.
I don't know if I'm explaining this well, but the problem with many sites is not that they don't have good content, it's finding it.

Encourage people to use the existing Debian IRC channels, on irc.debian.org (especially #debian).
The Debian IRC situation is fragmented enough, and they aren't that busy.

But they are frequently tied down with noise .. and trollishness..
