VTE mission repository

Post by Snake Man » 2009-03-23 18:46:13

I have made decision that we will setup a VTE mission repository.

The poll about if we should add missions to VTE release got ridiculous 7 votes (including mine heh), however looking at those votes the majority just wants many missions regardless (naturally we expect them to work etc). So indeed I'm now continuing the VTE tradition of high level mission support.

If anyone of you know the FDF mission repository, that's the kind of system I want to put in place where users can submit missions 24h/7days a week without any waits.

However there is bit technical problem with this; I have no code for such repository and if we want VTE to be developed, I'd rather use my time to edit it and not some php http code.

So now I'm asking if there is anyone with some http / php experience who would want to help me setup mission repository web page?

Maybe use some kind of Wiki software, maybe with review by admin before it shows on the site. Also quite simple for others to comment or vote... otherwise some standard community portal software+plugs like joomla has... depends on your server setup.
It should be choosen by the least effort needed on your part, cuz you should slave away on VTE not websites.... :P

Hmm wiki, hadn't thought of that. That might work also, we could even combine VTE's online manual (which I'm planning on doing) into this wiki at the same time which would be kind of cool.

But do we run into spam / vandalism problem on the wiki, I mean we cant expect users to register first before posting missions, it needs to be completely fast just snap your fingers and your latest mission is available for the public.

no, but there must be some review action before its shown publicly... to avoid users need to register and spam... or import userlist from the forums?

I really think that one point of successful repository is that people can easily send their missions there, not many people are interested going through a registration process just to give out their mission. I mean it has to be point and click == done :)

or MindTouch a more elaborate Wiki Style but contains all needed for both wiki and repository and ...
MindTouch Deki not just an award winning and easy to use web application for sharing, it's also a platform. MindTouch Deki is similar to CMS web frameworks like Drupal, Mambo, Joomla and DotNetNuke, but a wiki in nature; therefore making it community-centric and significantly easier for end-users to participate. Also, it has a complete application programming interface (API) for programmers and extending MindTouch Deki can be done in any programming language.
Creating pages and attaching files is just a click away. Users of MindTouch Deki can attach documents and images to individual pages. Images are presented in an attractive image gallery. At a glance you one can see who edited pages or attached files, when it was done, and read a description of the action that is automatically generated or manually provided.

Nothing is ever lost in MindTouch Deki. Every edit is tracked and versioned. Users can compare versions of pages. Similarly, file attachments are versioned. When a user links to a file the link will always point to the most recent version of the attached file. Likewise, if a user renames a page all links to this page will be properly maintained.

I'm sorry but we don't have the mission repository up yet, just make your missions, RAR them up and email to me. I'll then put them into some download topic here until we get the repository done (repo which nobody is working yet and I don't know how to PHP code such thing).

We'll get there.
