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. :)

I have another idea for CSDb V2. Remove all maintain permissions, except:

-Your own profile
-Your group
-Your products

So the key words are "reset permissions"

And I am still against it. I do not want that anybody can see for what I vote :)

transparent votes is a must against downvoting. check out poeut, it works there, and noone has anything against it.

if you cant stand for your opinion then dont vote. period.

lets stop the childis downvoting game.

Nafcom: why do u need the privacy, if not for hiding all your 1's ? eh ?

never voted any production a 1. :)

But I am sure the comments like "lamer, etc" would rise then. Because I think I have some 2 or 3's.

Hmm, on Pouet, the voting system is different, one only has thumbs up, down or a piggy :)
