Updated Slash & Server 51

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-use dept.

I'm not planning on announcing each and every release of Slash here, but there were several pretty significant problems in the v0.9 release of Slash (mostly the fact that my e-mail was hardcoded in one spot so I'm getting status report e-mail from dozens of new Slashlings as they pop up). Please Upgrade! Details about the release, and future announcements will mostly be posted at Slashcode.com, so if you're using the code or just interested, bookmark it. Second is the matter of Server51. We had a little miscommunication over here and let the cat out of the bag on this when we released Slash v0.9: S51 is Freshmeat's new open source hosting site. It's still very alpha, and only hosting a few projects, but since it's already getting a fair amount of curious visitors, feel free to poke around and send suggestions... it'll be ready for mass consumption "when it's finished" of course ;)

  2. SysReqs? by marks · · Score: 3

    Just curious, maybe I didn't read far enough into the previous article or the code itself, but what are the system requirments for Slash (hardward and software) I know it requires mod_perl and an SQL server, but what else?

  3. So Malda is not big brother? by Bishop · · Score: 4

    And here I thought the hardcoded email address was so that Mr Malda, in his efforts to be Big Brother, could keep track of who is using the code. Ofcourse we are all aware of Mr Malda's other nefarious schemes.

    There's more to hosting a project than providing an FTP server. Any place that plans to do it well will have to offer a mix of web-hosting, mailing list management, CVS service, FTP, and any other whiz-bang features they can think of.

    I'd like to see other slash sites as well! Please post URL's if you get something up! :)

  6. Tables by flink · · Score: 3

    I'm viewing this page with Netscape 4.7/Linux and the tables are really messed up: they're all squished over on the right up top, and to left on the bottom. Is anyone else getting this?

  7. SlashCode.com by Hard_Code · · Score: 3

    Is SlashCode.com using Slash? I think it actually looks better than Slashdot...I like the ability to put content-boxes on both sides...it also looks a bit more aesthetically pleasing.

    When's the last time Slashdot got a makeover? Perhaps one's due...

    I'm starting to think that someone working on Slashdot intentionally posts the exact wrong URL for every web site I work on! (Shall I remind you of the Linux Bazaar pics fiasco?)

    Grrr...

    Guys please for now on cc' the announcement text BEFORE you post it! Thank you.
