Short story: I have free time (for real) want to dedicate to CGOS fully.. like 20-40hr a week till solid. Need help/recommendations.
http://cgos.computergo.org/request/ Long Story: When I took over the server it was originally meant to for personal use but Don Dailey asked me to be the new maintainer... how could I say now... especially since I respect him so much. Mostly for Chess "komodo" but like him I'm also a Go fan. Said yes... I have experience, run multiple servers (mainly the olympuschess.com site, Olympus Internet Chess Server which was inspired by CGOS but for Chess, and the egtb torrent site) my lil non-name to fame. Anyway I admit in the past I've wanted, tried, but ultimately my insane job really kept me from holding my end of the stick. 60-80-100+ hrs a week (at 40hr pay cough). I had it running but only useable.. but no ELO info and web based presence was sadly a joke. Even longer story. I have time now and really honestly.. going to spend some REAL time on CGOS. Not only getting it up to par w/ what was on boardspace... but a lot of enhancements, including a non TCL based Qt (Linux/Windows/OS X) based viewer. Ditching about 15-20% of the code that did the automation. To keep things solid, the "server" is TCL and will keep that. But all the side jobs/scripts/semi-automation bots. They seriously need updated. Even looking at the data prior to me.. looks like some things were 1-2 years behind in data publishing. It *NEEDS* a facelift lol So for the rest of Sept, and perhaps part or a lot of Oct (really depends if I find a job quick). Spending A LOT of time making CGOS updates! So.... here is where you come in. Know the wiki is out there and do see some TODO entries which I will honor. But just wrote a 2minute script to be more personal. I love this mailing list but honestly if you need/want to hit me directly... this is the way or via email [email protected]... http://cgos.computergo.org/request/ This site will not only email me a copy of what you said, but will also txt me on my cell phone (pending length) I'm open to any and ALL recommendations. So please this is REALLY the time to make them, since now that I have ample time.. this is when I can push my man hours to changes. Once I get a full time job again I expect this to be solid as can be w/ updates. Then spending less time on request. -Josh [email protected] (US) 419-285-6315 _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
