Help Test Exciting All-New Slashdot "Banjo"
After far too long in development, Slashdot is ready to move to
the latest version of Slashcode.
To this end, we really need people to test our development box, aka Banjo. This is not a load test, so please don't beat the crap out of it (yet!). Please read comments, post comments, and test out wacky new features like Journaling and the assorted new messaging options. It is mostly identical but there are several cool surprises. We have many optimizations still to add, and only have a fraction of our "real" hardware on Banjo so don't worry about speed, instead look for things that don't work right (or at all!) and send those bug reports. (Known issues: imported comments are misattributed, and comment searching is disabled. Don't report these things please ;))
It seems banjo got /.'ed.
Looking for hardware (Currently need: Large Etch-a-Sketch) Have one? See my journal!
It's dog slow, the imported comments are misattributed, and comment searching is disabled! What were you guys thinking!?
(Just kidding, it looks great so far.)
"And like that
Yehh..we've just slashdotted slashdot! What's next on the list of eternal objectives? ;-)
Moderators use "redundant" way too often, and apparently without considering that the second or third post to say a particular thing were probably written before the first post to say it showed up on the page. A lot of down moderation seems to be done more in anger and maliciousness than in a sincere attempt to improve the site.
I see even classic Slashdot is now pretty much unusable on dial up anymore.
