codebase64.org - again!
Hello!
Just wanted to inform you all that I was kindly offered to move the wiki to another server and I decided to do this, because of some minor technical issues with the previous one. That means:
the C64 codebase wiki changed servers again! :)
http://codebase64.org
This time everything seems to work as expected (including registration). Note that:
- The URL has changed once again (to codebase64.org).
- You are now required to register in order to modify or add contents (but reading is open for everyone of course). This is due to the results of the poll that was performed on the wiki where a clear majority wanted it to work this way. This also has the good side effect of making it visible who added what and so on.
- Users that tried to register on the previous server are added in the userlist, and should recieve email notifications about that. Note that you can change the passwords assigned to you if you want to do that. (Press the "Update Profile" button when logged in.)
Concerning the future of the wiki, I will now look into the possibilities and options for adding a discussion forum to the wiki.
I also want to say thank you to all the people that added info so far. They way I see it, there is quite a lot of stuff in there now!
So, now go on and add stuff again. ;)

Heh. Funny actaully as I went to check out the site this morning and noticed the link had changed.
If you do decide to include a wiki forum, make sure it is highly secured and include filters to remove any inappropriate text ;) |

Thanks!
Today a new section was added to the wiki with contents from magazines. So far it contains the C= Hacking and DisC=overy magazines, but it is also intended to hold articles from real C64 diskmags.
http://codebase64.org/
Note that this kind of material should be handled with extra care, since it was once released as "finished products" and not intended for the possibilities of continous modifications in wikis. In short; any modifications to contents in this section of the wiki should be in the form of footnotes (which is added by using double parenteses around the text you want to add).
Have a nice day and keep on adding stuff!!!

By the way.. Are you people sure that you think it was such a good idea to require registration before people could contribute to the codebase wiki? (I refer to the poll that was on the site about this question). I am not sure, since the activity dropped to zero (almost) since that requirement got into effect.
I am thinking about whether I should change this back or not. (Security issues are not that pressing, since the site is backed up and so on.) |

I second that. I started good but job + demo coding took over. I _WILL_ continue the articles though. ;D |

Yeah, I thought so too (and that is not surprising), but still I found it a bit... noteworthy, or something, that the drop off effect occured in pretty much direct temporal connection with the registration-requirement. |

I think its a brilliant idea the codebase, it just needs a little more beef in form of more articles and sourcecodes.
Keep up the good work guys!

@stain: yeah.. so go there and add some stuff! :)
@oswald: In fact, I am pretty much of the same opinion as you. Just wanted to re-activate this thread, in order to remind people about the site. For example, I neglected to say that the (previous) wiki server was down for several days at the same time as I switched servers. Hehe.. :)
6502.org told me it was OK to mirror relevant routines on the codebase, and.. well.. yeah. I'll probably fix that some day. BUT, I still think original contents is the main thing to focus on for the wiki. |
