CSDb V2
As some of you might have seen, there have been talked a bit about a CSDb V2.
I have also had this idea for some years now, because of some basic flaws in the originally database design of CSDb.
Now is the time to try to do something about it.
But we, the current CSDb staff, don't have the resources to do this, so we need your help!
Here is what we need:
1. Somewhere to host CSDb V2. The current hosting for CSDb is not very good, as some of you might agree on, and it would be very difficult for more people to develop on it, so a new hosting place is needed.
The requirements for such place are not to much. Talking about performance, CSDb can run on any normal computer today with no problem, and a few gig of disk space should be ok. The daily trafic sums up to about 40-50.000 hits and 300-400mb.
Some kind of CVS or similar to make it easy for multiple people to develop on it, is also required. (PS. We got no money! )
2. People that would help. First of all we need some willing developers - PHP & SQL. I don't think we should get too many - 2-3, perhaps 4 (plus myself :) ) We'll figure that out.
Also some design people, to make the site look kewl. :) And finally some people with deep knowledge of the scene so we are sure to get around every corner in the design phase.
3. Time and patience. :)
The plan is then to put togehter a CSDb V2 team (not to big, 6-8 people tops), and figure out exatcly how to make it. Of course we should look at the current CSDb, but I sugest we make everything from scratch.
Most importaint is the design phase. We must try to take all into account when designing it. I think this is the most importaint part of it all.
Then it gets coded, designed etc, and when it is ready for release, we transfer all the data from CSDb to CSDb V2. :)
Even though the CSDb team is the ones who should make it, it dosn't mean that the rest of you have nothing to say. Perhaps we could post our plans somewhere for all of you to comment on.
That is roughly how I see it.
Now lets have a nice little discussion. :) |

Haven't read the entire thread... but I'm hoping that BBS entries will be included with v2... old thread, lots of people agreed it would be a nice addition.
Putting them in the trivia section now.

@Oswald: how clever, making fun of my handle. To my defense: I was 17 when I picked it, what's your excuse for being childish at age 29?
Also, please note that I never attacked you personally, I just tried to make you see the difference between just randomly shouting stuff, or actually doing this the right, organized way. And that goes for dealing with GUI issues too. Because believe it or not, web application is more than just 'the inner works'.
The reason why I quoted myself was not to look smart, but to show you that you just repeated something that was already said. No need for bringing it up again and again and again ..
@Hein: I never dragged you into this, I quoted something which just happened to feature your name. So do me a favor, and step out of it again, ok? ;) |

for hosting, you should check out http://www.untergrund.net .
it is a "sceners for sceners" website hosting service ran by scamp (breakpoint mainorga and vacsid coder). i have a website there myself, and the service is pretty reliable and supports all kind of css/php/mysql shizzle. |

Just imagine they're running a server without internet access. Now that's scary! |

We are slowly starting up again now that the new server is in place. However it IS summer, so things might be moving a bit slow.
Anyone who wish to join the V2-crew can send me a pm where you write what you can contribute with (coding, design, ideas, etc..) |

Hello, I'm Sander.
Joined the team yesterday, and will primairily focus on information design, interaction design, design / art-direction (and a general pain in the ass).
I want to emphasize i do not intend to actually design the new CSDB. (but willing to set out some styleguides and grids).
Hopefully later this week i'll read my way down to this post.
