contextgarden.net

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hi,

within the next 24 hours contextgarden.net will be on a new machine.
Expect some broken things. If things keep being broken after one day
from now, I'd be happy to receive bug reports. 

Warning: this also affects the update of the distribution (formally
known as the "minimals").

I'll put a page on the wiki where I list the status of the transition:

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/New_Server

(not there yet)


Thanks for your patience!


Patrick

That depends on the main maintainer. We have 2TB disk space. I cannot
speak about uptime yet, but the admins are sometimes willing to run to
institute at 3am when something of high priority happens (this server
probably doesn't count as high priority, but still).

I'm actually working on this specifically. It will
Python/Django/PostgreSQL-based and it will (hopefully) be ready before
summer semester starts here, which is 1.3.2011. We will use it inside of a
virtual machine, so I can't speak for security.

And on top of that all, I want to repeat the ugliness argument :)

Apart from being ugly, sourceforge doesn't even come close to the
desired functionality of contextgarden.net. The garden is in
suboptimal state, but moving to sourceforge wouldn't simplify the
things in any single way.

It's not so much about doing regular server maintainance (which is
very low once the server is set up), but about implementing new
creative ideas. Improving application for modules, implement new
features on wiki, creating some safe environment to enable running
mkiv on the server, maintaining some version control of ConTeXt,
improve and update source browser, improving reference for commands
(both develop the application as well as adding descriptions) etc.
etc. etc.

I don't know what sourceforge supports and what it doesn't, but I
don't believe that I could get ssh access, consume 40 GB of disk
space, run arbitrary cronjobs and offer rsync access to start with
(all needed for minimals).

Why not move all to Sourceforge.net ?

Just my two cent

Hi Patrick,
hi list,

I would be interested but only as part of a group. Anyone else interested?

Hi,

I have mentioned it at the last context conference: I am looking for a person (or a group) to take over the server contextgarden.net. Not only the wiki or the modules section or ..., but the complete server.

I have started everything more then seven years ago and we (= you) have all made it possible that contextgarden.net is now used by more then 500 unique visitors each day (the wiki alone). The average time a user spends on the wiki is three and a half minute (according to the stats, but this is inaccurate, of course), I think that is pretty good!

But as usual in a setting like this, I have shifted my focus. This does not mean I like ConTeXt less then several years ago! By no means! But I am too busy with my new job and my family so there is pretty much no server maintenance (except for a reboot once in a while).

I really hope that someone steps in and I can hand over all the files/databases and the domain name before the next conference.

Not that some parts are already maintained by other people: most prominently the minimals are done by Mojca with help of Arthur (I hope I've got it right).

Patrick
