Brent,

Thanks for doing that, great idea! If Dave agrees to the redirect then this is a big start in the right direction.

Tom.

Hi all,

I think we should just have dqsd.sourceforge.net as the main page - we can see if Dave will redirect dqsd.net back to dqsd.sourceforge.net.  I changed the home page to dqsd.sourceforge.net, uploaded the files in dqsdweb to the htdocs for dqsd project and it seems to work.  Note, I have not tried every page and every link - also you'll have to clear your browser cache as the old index page on the dqsd htdocs site redirects to dqsd.net 

I can easily change it back to the way it was but that way wasn't working and I like the idea of having the dsqdweb files hosted on sourceforge so that all the admins can mess with it and avoid the problems we're currently experiencing.

Your thoughts?

Brent

Hi Tom,

I think the most pressing concern is that we seem to have lost control of dqsd.net -- updates aren't bubbling through as they should, and we don't know who has access to the host.

- There is a wiki (now defunct, apparently, I can't get to the pages) for developers at SourceForge. Would a user-facing wiki be valuable?
- Feature requests can be made at SourceForge. I agree it's not as appealing as the link you posted.

My life is busy with two small children, and I don't have all that much time to develop DQSD, but I'd love to see it grow, too. :)

If we could get the infrastructural problems sorted, maybe we could kickstart development again, starting with a proper 4.1 release, and then look into the various issues we have?

- Kim

I did not need another sign to know DQSD was in trouble but no response to my post shows that. We need to do something to keep dqsd alive, the reality is it's slowly dying even though many of us still use it daily.

There are problems which need to be addressed, such as the load time when a new google is done, which is often a lot slower that doing a search in the google bar in the open browser. I still get the startup IE error. Shawn has suggested other things in the past which would improve things: http://bit.ly/shawndqsd and http://bit.ly/shawnxml

Some other ideas to continue the brainstorming:
 - turn dqsd.net into a wiki
 - add a proposed new feature section (such as linking one "search" to different a browser, floating toolbar, Logins with authentication code, etc) and let people vote like on http://digsbies.org/site/wishlist
 - add a blog

Lots of people out there work on open source software, dqsd needs more exposure to get more users for that to happen. We can start that by linking up the buzz we already have, e.g. adding links to posts such as David Blume's http://dblume.livejournal.com/65402.html

Tom.

Hi,

Does anyone know who runs/has control over dqsd.net? Is the domain still 
David Bau's?

I am wondering as I would like to make a change on the 
http://www.dqsd.net/contrib/ since a domain of mine listed there has 
changed and will be expired in less than 30 days.

I am not a member of the -devel list so am just emailing this user list.

Maybe the access could be opened up and we could update the site?

Thanks, Tom.
