Going back to what you were talking some time ago:

Maybe for the most important mods, if there are any, we could offer the modder to convert their mods for them.
Quote from Arantor on November 12th, 2010, 10:45 AM
For the ones that aren't in the core itself, I'll likely put some time aside to sit and implement some of the smaller ones, partly as an example of 'how-to' and partly so we have that functionality available for people. But I'd definitely want to work with mod authors to help them make the jump.
I definitely like more Arantor's approach.

I won't learn if you do the work for me.

Well, I can learn watching examples of finished plugins. (Reading the code and seeing how it has been done). I can even learn from the "bad written ones" (I will learn what things I need to avoid) but I definitely always learn faster (and it gets better into my mind) if I do it myself. Making my own mistakes and learning the hard way how to do things properly.

If you can spare some time (whenever we are ready to start modding) to work with me (not doing my work, but supervising what I am doing and correcting me when I take the wrong path) I will end up learning faster and doing a better work.

I think.

That's the other way around actually.
And you are.........?
Where did you find this website?

I heard rumors awhile back at smf.org, about 3 months ago I think. Yesterday I googled the site by familiar names rumored to be working on the project. I didn't believe a site was already available, until I found this one. I didn't even know what the name was until now.

Although, I see now it's still not supposed to be public?

You are welcome to delete my posts & account.

Thanks, and good luck with the project. Looking forward towards it's release...

It's a bit of a blunder on my side, technically.
I had a robots.txt file telling Google not to spider it. Then months later, we decided we could go public. So I removed the file. Then a few days passed, and we didn't have the time to prepare the marketing footwork that would be needed for a proper announcement. So we just postponed the public announcement... Only, I forgot to restore the file. When we received our first external visitor, we discussed this and we decided that it was okay to leave it that way.
Well, it was several months ago so it's kind of a joke by now...

I guess we could announce the name, now that I've secured all of the key domain names (I bought nearly 20 with "wedgesomething", but will probably only keep the one wedge.org and a couple others in the end -- making up over time for the price I had to pay to purchase wedge.org from a third party.)

Not our way of doing things. We just like knowing whether people are discussing Wedge by its name in other places.

As indicated, it won't be out before SMF2 Gold is ready, unfortunately. Because of the current license...
Of course, one may think that it's in their interest to delay that release as much as possible. But in the end, they're just shooting themselves in the feet... Whatever they do. Funny to think that Gold was pretty much announced for November/December, then pushed back to... Well, no date now.

FYI, talking about SMF gold, I read somewhere by a SMF staff member that RC5 was supposed to be gold, but they are currently trying to change their license, and will not release gold until then. So no date set.

It makes me wonder if wedge is the reason why. :P

Officially, they're only postponing because of the "delays in having the ownership transferred to the NPO".
Officiously, there's nothing preventing them from going BSD as of now, of course. But what's happening is that they still have a dozen bugs or so to fix -- they're actually easy to tackle, but I'd venture into saying that all of the dev team is exhausted at this point.
Can you realize that both Pete and I were rumored for a proper developer spot at some point last year? SMF 3.0 would already be out by now... :P

Duke Nukem Forever - even with its latest delay - will be out before SMF 2 Gold.

I can confirm that Wedge is *not* the cause of the delay, at least not the official reason; they are still trying to tie up transferring assets between the NPO and LLC, and because of all the history, they are being extra thorough about it.

It almost happened for me back in 2009 when things were beginning to flail and I actually withdrew saying that I didn't feel ready - in truth, I wasn't, because I was still very much in the 'every commit must be perfect' mindset. It took SimpleDesk to teach me that wasn't necessarily the case, so in March, I offered, heard nothing for weeks, and told them to get stuffed when a vague offer did materialise on the basis of 'an apprenticeship'. We all know how it turned out for Nao with their ideas of apprenticeship...

It's been so long, and I still haven't got inspiration to write a proper announcement... So why don't we just, I don't know... Take bits from the data available on the public board? I'm sure it can make for a proper announcement message altogether.

Or maybe simply, "Go to wedge.org if you dare" :P

Okay, I've created a FAQ board styled to be a blog (and ordered from oldest to newest post), and modified my sm.org signature to use the Wedge logo.

I'll also update my sig on Noisen.com. Dunno for other websites...
