Wedge

29 degrees Celsius here in Paris. Well 27 right now.

Well, I suppose that if you are planning to give us a private alfa version it won't matter if 2.0 is out or not, but for a public release I suppose you would need to wait for the change of license.Bloody Argie ...  :lol:21 here (love the Mediterranean)  :eheh:

I'd rather not distribute, even to Friends, an alpha until SMF is out.

I could make a common admin account at the demo website, though...I'd be living in Italy or Greece, were I comfortable with speaking another language on a daily basis... But I'd have to learn them first. Even my Spanish is so rusty my dog probably speaks it better than me. :P
My dream is to live in New Caledonia. Looks beautiful, perfect weather (20-30° all year), and it's French. But it's far, far away...

And it's near an earthquake plate, with a possible risk of tsunami, at least it's not as bad as New Zealand, which is on the plate.

I prefer having season, so I'm going for Canada, BC and it has the same problem as New Zealand.

Hehe, I'm already in BC, Canada and its awesome.  :)

That was my point in the first place. The sooner they release 2.0 the sooner I get an alfa.  :eheh:A little risky if 2 or 3 of us are playing with it at the same time, straining the software to the limits trying to find if it would break somehow. No one would know for sure who broke it and when. (But a good idea if we just make sure that it's only one of us playing with it at a time). (And with a good security copy of the DB stored somewhere  :eheh: ).

After waiting for so long I don't mind to wait a little longer and do things properly. (It's a lot easier to find bugs when you have the code at the same time you are playing with the software).

And anyway my main concern just now (apart from looking for bugs) is the anti-spam security.

My theory just now is that (with all the new implements Arantor has done in the code) we won't need to change my anti-spam mods in SMF and convert them into Wedge plug-ins.

Maybe I will do that anyway some time but just as a practice exercise (to learn how to create Wedge plug-ins) but not as a real necessity. (Maybe good only for "too paranoid" kind of people).

Anyway, to see if this is true or not, the only way I have is to check it in a "real life" forum. That's it: to create a test Wedge forum and send to it hundreds of thousands of different spam-bots and hack-bots and see if any of them manage to get through. (And maybe create a few more logs to see exactly what they manage to do and what they don't).

29°C MAX | 17°C MIN here (Rome). :)

Any idea of how many jobs going on there for Web Development?  :eheh:

I don't know of any off the top of my head so the head hunters are likely the way to go.  I got my job through Eagle but I'm in tech support, I don't know if they hunt web devs for sure but I think they do.

Well the few forums I still look after running SMF will not be updated until such time that wedge is released. I am really done with SMF, just had enough all round with them 

That's an attractive option, however we are currently running Yuku and I want to get off them as soon as SMF 2's gold is released and hope that a potential conversion to Wedge will be easy on the members.

As an aside, they would appear to be getting close again. Here's a 2 + (2/3 + 2/3 + 2/3) which may or not add up to 4.

In this thread by Powerbob, Illori says that the languages have to be updated to get rid of the "LLC" on the British (and other languages') screens.

And in this thread SiNaN says "...the only issue that was blocking the release was related to OpenID and it was dealt with yesterday"
So I assume  that SMF 2.0 is "ready", and...
I assume that as normal they will update the sm.org site with new updated proposed gold version (nupgv) a few days before releasing it - as per 'standard procedure', and...
I assume that this nupgv will have the language updates to which Illori refers.

Therefore when the LLC disappears from the British (and other languages') screens, the Gold version is only 2 or 3 days away  :eheh:

Language updates are actually irrelevant compared to the core release. If the OpenID issue was the only blocker, there is no reason for them to delay it now, unless they're going to fix more bugs - but they can't seem to make up their mind what they're going to fix, or not.

Assuming the dev that manages the release process actually has the time required. Believe me, it's not an easy process -- it's become more complicated over the years and no-one has taken the time to simplify/automate it -- last time I was involved (which, admittedly, is some time ago), it was a lot of manual work, so I don't envy the one in charge of it now.

I'll be glad when it's out at last.

All I'll say is, that's not what I was advised a bit back.
