Hi,

Long-term stalker, newly registered.

I'm also not a coder, despite being employed as an assembler geek in the past :) More of a hacker than anything else (in the strictest, Unix-like meaning - I don't go around trashing other people's work!)

But - I am good with systems stuff, well... I can break things. And then have to fix them... I don't know if that counts.

I don't have a tagline... maybe I should get one? All the cool kids have them!

Hi guys, I'm Klokinator. I'm actually a friend of Norodo's and I run one of his sites, soon to be two. He keeps telling me how awesome this Wedge is and how he'll be implementing it into his other sites once it's released, so by damn I'm gonna come onto the only site that has it and test out the features of it xD

(This site IS run on Wedge right? Beause if not, I'd be a little disappointed)

Yep, it's... Err, not, actually, it's run on a custom SMF :) Isn't it good enough already? Most of the features you're seeing here are in Wedge as well, of course. (It's missing all of the profile improvements, though, but these will come back later.)

But you're in at the right time. I promised I'd use Wedge on wedge.org once we'd reach 200 friends on FB (as good as any other promise really :P), I released the first screenshots at 100 friends, so here we are... We passed 200 friends yesterday and I promised myself to use Wedge here by the end of the month, so it's very likely that it'll happen on March 1st. (It's symbolic more than anything, but it's my 'Internet use birthday' date. My online persona will turn 16.)

So... Whether it's ready or not!

Wedge! Used here! Right here! Starting Thursday, March 1st! Stay tuned!

Welcome :)

See also http://wedge.org/pub/faq/…-wedge-org-running-wedge/ Of course, you can see how well the original estimate turned out - but estimations of timelines tend to involve fictional numbers and theoretical maths that don't really apply to reality... ;)

TBH the site is a bit clusterfucked xD. I culdn't figure out how to get back to this topic for like 15 minutes today and ended up just clicking on random buttons until I found unread replies... I hope the layout issues are nonexistant or fully customizable in Wedge because this sites layout wouldn't work for me xP

S-so you're using it... right... now? Looks the same as when I posted my intro here XP

Actually,, if you look at the footer,  it says "Powered by SMF". You'll know it changed when it says "Powered by Wedge"" and the site looks very different.

Well, Wedge.org already looks different but that's because I based it off Noisen.com which uses a VERY heavily customized SMF. I customized Wedge.org a bit further, but unfortunately as a result it looks *worse* than Noisen.com (don't ask me why, at the time I thought it looked good enough :P)

I'm still working hard on making Wedge at least viewable by the end of the week. Heck, I could do it now by posting a demo site... But I have yet to determine if (1) it should use the Wedge.org data (users, posts...) and people will understand that it's a demo and the posts will eventually go away, (2) I should make a clean install and no import, and thus expect people to post their test messages on it, (3) it won't be detrimental to our image that our demo site runs Wedge but not our main site, somehow implying that Wedge is not ready for use yet -- which it isn't the case, but I still need to at least implement proper thought privacy and such. (The Friends group is used to posting thoughts for Friends only, meaning I have to ensure per-membergroup privacy is enabled, which can be done easily, but I also have to write the UI for it... Which is a bit more annoying because of my tendency to write complex JavaScript popups.)

The one thing I think's going to confuse people is that the board index isn't immediately/obviously available, and people are going to expect it to be (or else look for a 'forum' tab in the case of a portal)

No, my local Home.template.php is a direct copy of the Wedge.org homepage (without the Facebook zone though, which I can always add in the process, just didn't want to make the page too busy), it's just the Welcome.template.php version that's devoid of a list of topics. I assure you, I wouldn't publish it without it ;)

That's the thing though, it's still not obvious how to get to the boards from there... while the board index is somewhat unexciting, having it as the front page does make for quite good navigation.
