SoylentNews is people
SoylentNews
By now, you have had the chance to read the updates of both NCommander and Barrabas. Nonetheless, you may still be wondering quite a few things about the site and its staff. Here is your chance to ask us anything. These questions can be general in nature, in which case the staff will select a spokesperson to answer it, or it may be specific to an individual. If the question is for an individual, please ensure you identify that person specifically enough.
We will select the best questions from the thread and provide answers to the community. These questions may not be the highest rated, although we will probably use those first.
In keeping with tradition, ask as many as you'd like, but please, one question per post.

I see that others have asked how we can donate, and I hope to do the same.
Longer term, I'd like to be able to donate time, energy, bandwidth and systems experience to the project.
Q1: First real question: Are people getting sleep now? I know there were several days when it was touch and go to know how sane any of the core team would be at any point in time.
Q2: When do you think you will start considering modifications beyond just catching up to where the old site was?
Q3: Have you had any personal contact with other people with similar projects and do you think you will be able to share ideas and source code?
Q4: How hard is it for a moderately geeky guy to set up a virtual machine and catch up with where this site is now?

I am also interested in knowing how I could help. Will code or test for charity.

They specifically asked "In keeping with tradition, ask as many as you'd like, but please, one question per post." Dunno exactly why but they did.

A1. Sleep is still, I believe, getting caught up on.
A2. Ah, the future... it's still there! :)
A3. Can't help you, you'll have to look to a higher power for those answers (although I think source code will be released eventually????)
A4. If you mean coding? There was a lot of work going on by people with wizard level skillz beyond what I have leveled up to: furious, sleepless work of over (I believe, but my mind is gone) a week. It is beyond me how they did it. I just like that I got to be a part of it... it's been fun so far! :)
my 2 pennies... except we don't have pennies in Canada anymore.
