A Centralized Code Dump?

[phrontist]

It's called the NRG Code Repository.

The system is down, man.....

The Code Repository isn't coming up. infact, the whole nrg.chaosnet.org site appears down. any news on that?

As far as I can tell from the threads on this forum, it was switched to a source forge project. Here is the link:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/frcoder/

It apears that it is no longer active as well. Maybe I just don't know how to use source forge correctly or nothing has been added since 5 months ago and their are only 4 listed developers. That's all I know. Maybe we could start this up again, or re-vamp and make a new system or something. I don't know.

Maybe, in the white pages section or so, we could ask Brandon to create a section so us programmers can "dump" in useful code? Or as you said, you can make a website, but no guarantees it will be used. In the past, both the code repositories have been a waste. I have a feeling that it will be more alive in ChiefDelphi just because there are more users and its also a place where rookies come first. Although, if it doesn't harm, you can create your own repository.

Who actually ran the nrg.chaosnet site? And can we get old data from him/her/them?

[Bharat Nain]

SilverStar from Team 948 ran it. There wasn't much on the site, but I am pretty sure he will have saved whatever was on it and give it to us if needed. He did a very good job overall on the website, unfortunately it didn't work out that well.

I can provide website space to bring back the idea of a code repository, if anyone is interested.

I need recommendations for software, to manage it. Or get a copy of the NRG software.

[colt527]

I could right the software so its a complete custom job. I have a member system and a file system so I can just merge the 2 together. We should talk on how to coordinate this. If we all list our AIM sns here could start a chat on how to organize it.

FIRSTWiki also looks like a good idea, less work for me . The only problem with that is that I never 100% liked having anybody be able to edit things.

Wikipedia has a pretty extensive and solid response to that issue many people have with wiki's. Basically, it comes down to the fact that people review every edit and that if things really get bad, there are moderators to step in (who can ban people and lock pages.) If still don't believe thats a good argument, just look at Wikipedia. I don't think anyone can doubt its existence or great success.

In the future, the software will have the ability to give different edit priveleges to different people and members of different groups. Its possible we will use this to allow, for example, only team members to edit team pages.

I would be more than happy to help develop the site, if we cannot get NRG's software.
