SoylentNews is people
SoylentNews
from the prevention-goes-a-long-way dept.
So, every once in awhile, if things have been quiet, I like to pop a post seeing what the general feelings of the community are towards the site, seeing what we could do better, etc. I think its been a few months since the last time I posted in Meta, so I think this is a good time to get a pulse on the community, and provide a venue to get any feedback (good or bad).
On the staff side, I know things have been relatively quiet over the summer due to most of us being busy with life and such, which is why we haven't made a major site upgrade since the original rehash upgrade at the end of May. For myself, I've been working at a new job, and dealing with a fair bit of non-Soylent related things to the point that I really only have the time or energy to post, and occasional check in, and I'd like to thank the rest of the staff, and mrcoolbp in particular for holding down the fort for me.
Anyway, in contrast to my usual posts, I'm going to cut this off here, and will be looking forward to your comments below.

Not knowing the specifics of the SN codebase
That can be easily remedied [github.com].
There's even a VM Image [soylentnews.org] you can work with.

Wrong repo, slashcode is the legacy Apache 1.3 codebase. We keep it separate for sites who want to upgrade to rehash (and there have been discussions for non-SN sites on that point). Main repo is here: https://github.com/SoylentNews/rehash [github.com]

What NC said and also, the VM image is pre-rehash. Prehash? Whatever. Anyway, we're all currently working off of the dev server because the bloody VM building process requires the awesome skillz of NC instead of my merely wondrous skillz.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

Thanks to NC and TMB for correcting me.
My apologies to all for the incorrect information. I guess I was having a rough night last night.
