X___ Posted March 30, 2012 Report Posted March 30, 2012 Somebody ought to fix that OpenG front page... Graphical! Quote
dannyt Posted March 30, 2012 Report Posted March 30, 2012 I see what you mean. Now Lava has the OpenG forums would it not be better to put the OpenG site to bed so as not to sully its well earned reputation Quote
Francois Normandin Posted March 30, 2012 Report Posted March 30, 2012 Done. Looks like it's been abused for close to 4 months. Since the site is not maintained anymore, I don't know if the admin can make the front page un-editable? 1 Quote
jgcode Posted March 30, 2012 Report Posted March 30, 2012 This situation has been noted previously (re: hacking) and the OpenG team is discussing alternatives including moving to LAVA. It would require a lot of effort to move all content. Any volunteers? Quote
asbo Posted March 30, 2012 Report Posted March 30, 2012 Since it's a wiki, wouldn't it make sense to move its content to labviewwiki.org and use LAVA for its forums? Quote
jgcode Posted March 31, 2012 Report Posted March 31, 2012 Since it's a wiki, wouldn't it make sense to move its content to labviewwiki.org and use LAVA for its forums? The wiki has been mentioned however LAVA has a new Knowledge Base that I am currently reviewing for suitability also. Quote
JackDunaway Posted March 31, 2012 Report Posted March 31, 2012 It would require a lot of effort to move all content. Any volunteers? Any interest in using CrowdTilt or similar to raise funds to contract out the migration? I would chip in. 1 Quote
crelf Posted April 2, 2012 Report Posted April 2, 2012 Any interest in using CrowdTilt or similar to raise funds to contract out the migration? I would chip in. Or Kickstarter. That said, I'm not sure how easy it would be to contract a migration like this - the site's in a pretty bad state, and I think it would take people with a little OpenG knowledge to do it effectively.

Any interest in using CrowdTilt or similar to raise funds to contract out the migration? I would chip in. That is a very kind offer Jack however, as Chris pointed out I am not sure who would do the contract work, and that it should be overseen by the OpenG team. One way I can envisage it may work is for community members offering to help (with their time) aka LAVA 1.0 -> LAVA 2.0 restoration. Quote
