  1. Re:invitation only by tcopeland · · Score: 2, Insightful · on Boxxet, a Tool for Automatic Webpage Generation

    "invitation only" makes a lot of sense... it helps you throttle the initial flood of folks until you've sorted out what people like and dislike.

    We're using it for indi (built with Rails, w00t!) and the waiting list keeps growing, good times...

  2. Re:That's great but what about step 3? by tcopeland · · Score: 2, Informative · on AIM Now (Mostly) Open To Developers

    Right on! And with PostgreSQL as a Jabber backend, it scales quite well.

    It's certainly working out fine for indi so far... routing multiplayer hearts games over Jabber, good times!

  3. "Mission critical" by tcopeland · · Score: 4, Insightful · on Oracle Boss Says OSS Needs Big Business
    From the article:
    There are huge gaps in open source, it will be a long time before open source becomes popular for what we call mission critical database applications.
    I think "mission critical" is supposed to evoke Walmart-sized behemoths, or perhaps the stock market. But isn't "mission critical" just anything that a particular business can't live without? Because indi is running on lots of open source, and it's pretty "mission critical" for our small company...
  4. Even game like Hearts and whatnot... by tcopeland · · Score: 1 · on Golden Age of Arcade Games

    ...are interesting to folks.

    We put Hearts and a couple of version of Solitaire in the first beta of indi and that was the thing that got the most "wow" - not the instant messaging, not the calendar stuff we'd labored over, but the multiplayer Hearts. Ah well.

  5. Too bad they didn't use Ruby on Rails... by tcopeland · · Score: 1 · on Foundations of Ajax

    ...InstantRails makes it easy to get it up and running, and Rails definitely has AJAX support built in.

    I'm using AJAX a fair bit (mostly on the admin pages) on getindi; it's very handy stuff!

  6. Re:koders by tcopeland · · Score: 1 · on Search Engine For Coders to Launch

    Yup, and we at RubyForge got together with them to add some searching capabilities for the projects in RubyForge. Pretty cool stuff.

    getindi!
