[edit] Goals
This is literally from http://wiki.neoturbine.net/index.php?title=Neoturbine_v5&oldid=240#What_We_Have_Now
[edit] Meta-Goals
- Decentralized
- Distribute projects to more then just Galatea server
- We've had our issues with rogue users, admins, ircops. The core group (whom I'd consider to be me, sahal, linolium. dimav, echoline, trevorj, steveb) are the trusted ones who truly know neoturbine. Yes, this sounds elitist, but this is how networks work.
- Fun
- Neoturbine as a method of launching into what we really want to do for fun
[edit] Share personal projects, links, data with each other
There is a few issues here:
- Sharing files with each other privately with persistent storage - Email, (optionally) GPG
- Sharing files with each other privately to our computers - Jabber, (optionally) GPG
- Sharing files, personal websites, etc - Web hosting (Galatea, other Neoturbine servers, we've resorted to tripod back in the day ;) )
- Personal Projects versioning - SourceForge, Google Code, Berlios, etc
- Not our concern, things that people may use outa be hosted on something more reliable then Galatea (no offense steve :P)
- Hey, I got better uptime than any of your servers ever did buddy :)
- Not our concern, things that people may use outa be hosted on something more reliable then Galatea (no offense steve :P)
- Neoturbine-related versioning - Subversion
[edit] Try to link back to neoturbine.net if we consider it to be fitting (eg. personal websites)
Just ask?
[edit] Help each other on projects now and then
Like any other project, write up a patch, maintainers can give access to the version control system to anyone they want
[edit] Have a interesting ideas to bring up the community on IRC for all of us to try out
If the person is trusted and the idea is interesting, one of the servers with a version control system could just give the guy a repo to work with
[edit] Expand Neoturbine by getting more members in and becoming somewhat more popular/Invite friends
Ah, word of mounth :P
[edit] Profiles
[edit] data
Must support the following:
- Name, Nickname, url/uri, email
- OpenID identity
- Optional Address
- Server(s) info
- Name
- Status (online, retired, depends if /dev/random%42 is even, etc)
- Part of NeoturbineNET (red pills) or not (blue pills)
[edit] Presentation
- hCard, with exporting options to vCard to make scripting easy (hCard allows simple parsing, but can't ever be too sure)
- XFN support, to create a Neoturbine Network of XML Friends (NNXF)
