Hi,
I would put my own points here but some may be posted earlier...
Find all the other places trying the same! Maybe with a Kickstarter anouncement to collect money for the hosting
Only Open Source: Yes, but what about those who have Open Source Software and services?
My idea to this is, let them in with a rule to fund some amount. I think this will help without polluting the website with ads that otherwise come up at any time later
Domain: As I have the same idea and setup with the closing of freshmeat, I own these domains (since some time before):
opensourcestore.de, eu, net, and org.
I have currently setup a phpBB site at index.php to get
a more structured place to have areas of interest.
I do like the idea to have an upstream with no restrictions for Open Source authors that are registered and approved. If one violates, lock them temporarly and contact for clarifying.
A very easy way is currently implemented at http://tinybrain.de:8080/freshmeat/ but I am not sure if we are allowed to name it like that with the previous name in it
My ideas around the language of imolementation is not in the Open Source area, but I can support the builds as of I am a licensed user.
Why?
The tools, https://www.devexpress.com/ offers, are very good. Offering strong capabilities in grids and reports to mention only some of their suite.
It is .NET, sorrybut supports much stuff.
I have made a suggestion on my forum to use these tools only for a review application that pulls the data for a review session and then to create reports in a HTML format or some other.
HTML could then be used as a marked up news site WITH reviewed contents
The article is here viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3 and it uses a webservice where the data is located!
Thats my trials yet to the problems got without freshmeat. So sorry for that I am using tools in my toolbox
Regards,
Lothar
