Title: What about a nspire forge?
Post by: squalyl on January 06, 2011, 06:10:10 am
Would some people being interested by a domain where you can register an nspire related project?

I could offer that: http://nspforge.unsads.com/ [edit: just waiting DNS propagation]

The only non negotiable conditions are:
respecting all required laws. This is obvious.
make your releases available free of charge.
serious projects only ("hai I want to make a nspire dreamcast emulator where do I download ndless and what is ARM lol?" -> KTHXBYE)
Any other is negotiable. The code does not have to be open source.

Projects would be manually approved for the moment, until I can automate the creation process.

I can provide
- trac -> follow issues, bugs, etc
- svn -> record backup and control your source code
- daily backup to a ftp space

If someone helps me, git is also possible.

I can also import existing svn repositories and discuss any requirement I did not talk about in this post.

What do you think of this? Useful? already done by individual project owners? What more could make that thing interesting?

sounds useful, I'd probably use it if I started working on an nspire project.

This looks great, I can imagine a TI-83+ Series one, since there are more projects for this one :D

Well, that could be interesting but I wonder how much time I will need to admin all of this if the number of projects grow too fast. My vision was a human-sized thing, not a sourceforge-bis.

Nice! This might motivate me to start some Nspire projects... :)

So, the URL is just a name, doesn't actually go anywhere, right? The link doesn't work, so I kind of figured that was the case.

We're just waiting for DNS propagation, sorry :D [edit: and a corrected DNS entry #sick# ]

however the name tells everything. The page just mentions a contact address: [email protected] . This one is functional.

This might be useful to me.  Currently, I have my makefiles set to back up my source code files to "My Dropbox" at each build.

That would be nice. It would make some project stuff easier to manage, while the discussion could occur fine on forums.

Hello

That's great.

Is the URL alive for you all now?

Hello

Yep, it seems to work. There's not a lot of stuff on the web page, though.
Title: Re: What about a nspire forge?

I'm not sourceforge and I'm my own admin staff. I'm providing trac+svn for coders, and technical support. not a fancy blog & like on facebook & twitter & al.

sure, without any project, the page is quite empty at the moment. When the time comes, you'll get trac environments.

Well, now I have to set up an ARM compiler on my computer, so I can actually start making stuff. :P

I wish nCubate had a Linux version.....

Post by: squalyl on January 07, 2011, 10:03:22 am
to all: if you're lacking ideas, yaronet suggested a ti89 emulator would be nice :D

edit: Ooops didn't know the topic and the work lost by calc84maniac.

Changed nspforge conditions:

-removed the opensource requirement
-clarified that I can host secret projects without advertising them on the site.

I hope he resumes work on it. Else, maybe that could be a project idea for someone else?

Anyway, hopefully this helps a lot. :)

nspforge welcomes Chips Challenge from apcalc:
http://nspforge.unsads.com/p/chipschallenge

The environment is brand new, I let apcalc deal with it for useful information.
He will follow-up in the dedicated topic: http://ourl.ca/6829 section:
http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?board=131.0

edit: I'd like to add that project that *already started* are welcome.
Title: Re: What about a nspire forge?

Cool Squalyl :D

Also apcalc should edit the link to include the entire sub-board link instead of just the topic, in case new topics are posted there :D

the nspforge home page has been extremely improved: I made a meta-project to manage projects.
You can post your requests with a trac ticket here instead of using an email.

Additionnaly, and more importantly, I decided that anyone with a cool calculator project could register it. That opens the door to ti83 and all other friends. The goal is the same: always avoid to loose projects by recording their progress in svn and backing up that daily.

This information is worth spreading among anyone that has incentive to develop anything for a texas calculator. Please share!

from squalyl, at your service.

Oh that's great. This might be useful for projects like Axe and other large ones.

Hi,

three good news:

1) We welcome nTris in the nspire forge (http://nspforge.unsads.com/p/ntris). Welcome! This is a great program.

2) I enabled the use of git for those of you who prefer this type of scm

3) I installed a release management plugin to trac so that you can publish your programs easily and have download stats! ndless will use this plugin as soon as ExtendeD have a little time.

Regards and have fun

Nice to hear. :D

I also like the progress so far. Did you put a link on Hackspire, by the way?

erm... no.

but that's a good thing to do, I agree with that!
