Website

I want to start by saying that I don't have any advanced Web development
skills.  I am willing to help, but I was hoping to mediate between Dennis
and the old Web host.  Although from Dennis's e-mail it sounds like this is
not an option.

On the flip side, I have a shared hosting account on TextDrive.  Since I'm
not an experienced administrator I will not guarantee that this space will
be made available to Libvisual, but if I can compartmentalize my site then
I'd be willing to host the Libvisual Web site.

For those of you not familiar with TextDrive, it is a cutting edge Web host.
  Among other things, they provide Ruby on Rails, SQL, and mailing list
support.  I'm sure it would make a good home for Libvisual assuming the
community has Ruby and not Python expertise.

Regards,
Michael

Hello,
 
Thanks for responding. It is true that I'd like to see a new updated website. Hosting is not the problem,
in fact we will co locate a server within 6 weeks ;) What we are looking for is purely web developers that
can create the new web site.
 
Thanks,
Dennis

Website Proposal (sort of)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello all. It's been a while since I've shown my face around here, but
nevermind...

Times change, and I'm once again in possession of too much free time.
If travelsized CMS doesn't pan out, and if the server is capable of
running it, I would be quite happy to write a Python-based CMS (PHP is
really a nightmare). Of course, you need shell access on the server, a
recent version of python installed, mod_rewrite and Apache 2, but
given those rather narrow conditions, Python framework-based apps work
great; I have a few running sites at the moment.

Of course, this is probably overkill, and your server has a reasonable
chance of not meeting the requirements, but I'd thought I'd put in the
offer anyways. I seem to have become quite the Python fanatic in the
last few years, and hopefully this email isn't going to hurt anyone.
Don't look at me for PHP-based solutions, though; I've learnt my
lesson there.

Frameworks (of any sort) mean quick yet tailored development, and make
adding features a lot, lot easier. The big project I'm currently
working on has forums, wikis, user accounts and political simulation
all in one big site, and thanks to frameworks I can write a basic wiki
in less than a few hours, and forums in two days (BBCode is what gets
you). If all you want is screenshots, news and some static information
pages that's not very difficult; even WordPress satisfies that with
the Gallery plugin,

Just thought I'd offer. Good luck with libvisual in any case; eyecandy
is always a good thing ;)

Andrew

Heya Andrew,
 
Good to hear from you!! I personally rather use an existing solution instead of
writing a new CMS. We have had many website framework switches and I'd like
to pin this one down for atleast the upcoming years. Servers aren't the problem
however I am doubtful about writing something from scratch. Please keep participating
on the discussion tho!
 
Cheers,
Dennis

No problem, just wanted to suggest. You're probably very wise going for
an existing solution :)
