Trusted people to do CSDb Development
There have been many feature requests and zero response and changes. Why is CSDb so hostile with the users and why cant someone take over Perff's job and do some development from time to time ? Whats happening behind the scenes ? |

ian :)
Why even trusted people? Let just push the donate button hard and hire some russian lowlifes. Code review is much easier than making it all up again :) |

I dont think Perff wants help. and/or he's too scared to share the csdb codebase with others. I've only seen one feature added in the last 5 years (bbses) and that's it.
so its simple, csdb will remain uber slow with a crap interface.
its a shame really |

Has anyone written up a specification?
First step would be to define what would be involved to see just how big a task this would be (quite large I would suspect)

Then there's the thing with integrity, censored statements and what not, available in the database only to Perff... I was once thinking thay maybe a public raw read only access of the whole db would perhaps spawn a CSDb 2 but I think it's naive nowadays... |

I'm not talking of CSDb v2, but maybe it would be nice to have some of these implemented:
- comments, summaries, goofs, etc all on one page
- email on pm
- pm preview
- etc. |

We could also approach CSDb the way we do the C64: get as much as possible out of it without changing it. |

Says a man who codes demos for c64 in an emu with a cross assembler, and has a retro replay cartridge and other fancy modern hardware for the c64..
(not specifically you mace, but could be anybody)
It comes by itself, one day people will be so tired of the old systems, that they will make new ones.. |

It kind of all depends on how the current stuff is coded. I'd hate to offer to help only to be thrown into a big bowl of spaghetti ;)
eg changing what's displayed as default on a release's page "should" be really easy, as should email on PM..
