Regular on the Puppy forum
Hey Q: Why was Puppy turned down from being hosted at sourceforge?
CrustyLobster
I don't know, but I remember Barry tried to get the Puppy project hosted by Sourceforge∞ and they∞ turned him down. Sourceforge∞ have a lot of mirrors with a lot of bandwith, which would have been good. I suspect they∞ didn't 'get' what Puppy was all about.
LOL - your page is developing nicely and Sourceforge (IMHO) is a dire example of a bad site that muscles out innovation. However it might be a good idea to have a presence there and I have put this on the Do list.
I really like all your screen shots. As soon as you do some more directly Puppy ones I'll place them or you can. Very interesting to see what can be done with our default screen themes. Just swapping to a good clean icon set will make Puppy look good (the underlying structure is very workable) It is true that Being with Source Forge might attract some good developers (I really feel the more the merrier and wish I could do more - but my Linux and programming is just not up to it ;-) Lobster

Hi GuestToo
Yours is the nicest Home page - so far anyways :-)
here are all the tips I have on wikis:
* Home pages like this one should be reserved for conversational type stuff and personal info - experiences might be useful and therefore would warrant an independent page - other stuff starting here might be moved to other pages or copied there as the need or requirement is recognised
* The front page should have a simple index that does not change much with new pages added in the News section and then added to an index. As more pages are added we need a main index and sub indexes - the thing is keeping the data organised so it is acessible and useful
* Conversation on main pages (personal pages and chit chat the layout is different) should be in the 3rd person
* Keep cool if people move or modify stuff or have their own style - the WARS we had on the Peace wiki were unbelievable - LOL - For example these are just my guidelines - things I have found useful - not decrees :-) It is the usual like with emails - be as kind as possible - we have less clues to go on and everyone is Puppy friendly
* Get rid of as much eye candy as possible - lines and colours and stuff - blue underline, white background, pics, bold and italic and headings - nice and simple like the HTML on the puppy web pages
* Try to resist the temptation to sign all your comments - the data is neutral. However for here it is a courtesy to sign it like so Lobster
