Unused server resources..
« on: April 29, 2006, 10:12:31 AM »
Well, I have lot's of unused bandwidth here (in the hundreds of gigabytes), and some gigabytes of unused harddrive space.. And, my processor is rarely taxed more then a few percent... So, basically, I am looking to some ideas of what services/features should I add to the website. This is open to all opinions and suggestions.

What i would love would be more visitors, many more.. As, I do not have an reason to add a screenshot page (take a screen shot of OIS :) ), there has to be something that can attrack a larger community? Ideas..

Maybe something like Trac. For easier collaberation of development.

Well, there are no impressive screenshots of WGE yet. But of course, once there are some, and perhaps some video clips, and demo downloads, the server will have some more functioning...

As far as trac, the forum, and wiki is good enough for development at this point. No need to overly complicate things :)

But really, I am referring to creating a bigger comunity.. It would rock to have more people visiting.. Doesn't neccessarily be about WGE, Theora, or OIS.

Maybe you could add syntax highlighting for code on the forums, I know it's not really nescisary, but it's kinda nice  :)

There is already an extension for SMF that adds in syntax color coding for something like 50 programming languages.

Maybe something like a java-script based chat would be good. Then users won't have to figure out IRC. Plus it would eat the bandwidth you're wasting  :P

PJIRC is what you want. :)
I have that somewhere on my sitre (orphaned as nothing points to it since I upgraded the front page, but it is still there somewhere).
