SoylentNews is people

from the no-really-do-it dept.

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.

    How do you feel about joining forces with Pipedot [pipedot.org]? That site has a nice and simple interface resembling /. and uses a newer codebase than Slash. Maybe just some code sharing?

    |. code still needs a lot of work, they only have basics working. Also, the "dev team" is probably just one or two guys, and because of that they are not as responsive as team of this site, which has someone active on IRC at almost all times.
    Still, the look and feel of |. site makes me drool and feel warm and fuzzy inside. :) With some effort, it could be a root of a complete slashcode replacement.

    Maybe just some code sharing?

    SoylentNews is using Slashcode, which is written in Perl, but Pipedot have said "no Perl CGI", so code sharing between the two projects might not be so easy.

    SoylentNews did get some icons from Pipedot, so some sharing do occur.

      I realize that, but surely HTML + CSS theming wouldn't be an issue.
