[Gambas-user] Gambas Trawler and Gambas-Basic.org migration?

[Tobias Boege]

Hi list,

I just published the first two issues of what I called the "Gambas Weekly
Trawler" [1][2]. It's a weekly (and possibly monthly) format where I digest
the things that I read about Gambas over the week, which includes the commit
logs, mailinglist and bug tracker. The listing will be annotated (as far
as my capability goes) and filtered (according to my judgement).

The primary reason I do this is because it's currently somewhat up to luck
that the Gambas-Buch is kept up to date with new features being added to
Gambas. And when something is discovered to be wrong/missing months later,
I'm the one who has to find out what and when and why. Since I read all of
the above things anyway, I thought I might as well write a weekly summary
of "the important parts" that is more accessible to Hans. And I just publish
it on the internet as well.

The first post [1] includes pretty much what I said above, as well as a call
for participation. Over the coming weeks, I'll automate data retrieval from
my main sources as much as I can (which basically amounts to indexing our
three mailing list archives), but some things are notoriously hard to notice,
like Gianluigi making an effort to translate the wiki to Italian. Did any
of *you* notice? The idea is that if you're Gianluigi and you make notable
updates to the wiki, you're invited to send me a oneline summary.

The Trawler is currently hosted on my personal website. An RSS feed is
also available [3]. Christof Thalhofer has (again) generously offered to
take over the hosting to Hostsharing. I would very much like to do that,
and on that note my question:

  What happend to the moving away from SF? Code hosting and mailinglist
  are done, the website isn't. Seeing as gambas.sf.net is only a menu with
  an iframe to the wiki, that should be even easier, right?

If this Trawler project is well-received enough, it would be nice if it
could be hosted on a subdomain of gambas-basic.org, after the main web-
site was moved. My current setup is sustainable as well [ I do not want
to hear people disliking my creme-colored background! ].

Regards,
Tobi

PS: I won't go further back than week 11 of this year. The reason why
I post #11 and #12 at the end of week 12 is because I had to convince
my website software for a week to support a weekly blog-alike *nicely*.
