Mira’s Web Services Are Up

February 18, 2007 on 8:51 pm | In Mira Groupware |

I would like to announce the availability of Mira’s website, wiki, blog and forum which will be temporarily hosted on this website until SourceForge’s shell servers come back up (at which point I shall transfer the software over to Mira’s SourceForge website). Therefore, without further delay, I would like to announce the addition of the following services:

Mira Homepage
This page links to Mira’s other services and acts as a front page to introduce Mira to unknowing users who stumble across it.
Mira Documentation Wiki
This wiki will act as a repository for our documentation. This is where we instruct users on how to install, update, deploy and use Mira and also put down our decisions on default features, APIs, functionality, and other aspects of Mira’s design (including its user interface) and architecture in detail.
Mira Blog
All developers will be able to post on this blog. It will be used to make announcements (in conjunction with the Mira Notification List, mentioned below), to share an opinion or idea or just to capture Mira’s current stage of development.
Mira Forum
This is our centre for collaboration: this is where we discuss new features, ideas, development, etc before putting our decisions down in the wiki and it is also where we help users who are in need of it. This forum will, hopefully, bring Mira’s community together (when it gathers one!) and will allow *everyone* to share their opinion on the best route for Mira to take, whether it’s reasonable or not. Please pop over to our forum now to contribute to the discussions and to start your own, if you wish.
Mira Notification List
This is a one-way mailing list: subscribe to it and be the first to learn of announcements, news and other aspects of Mira! If you do subscribe, you will receive approximately one email per week to let you know of the current situation and any developments which may have been made during that week.

I will also set up a bug tracker (Trac seems like the best option) when SourceForge’s shell service is back online. I shall also transfer all of the above services over there too.

Please do join in on the discussions in Mira’s forum to help perfect the plans of its architecture and design! If you know a programming language or two and would like to participate in the coding side Mira’s development, please do put yourself forward - we are looking for developers, even though we haven’t decided upon a programming language yet

J_K9, best of luck with your project. Looks very interesting

How about phpbb or SMF for the Mira forum, though?

Hmm… I’m slightly wary of using Launchpad, because it’s not Open Source (yet) so it would be, in my opinion, slightly hypocritical to use it… It is an excellent bug tracking system though

Hari - Thanks! I’m thinking of using forum software other than Vanilla - I think it’s a bit too minimalistic. Perhaps bbPress? That might be a good alternative.

Oh, and I’d really like input from both of you on Mira - please do visit its forums and add to the discussion, if you can! Thanks.

What exactly is a groupware? I’m afraid I’m not too well up on that area of software

It allows people to collaborate by bringing project management and other tools into a single environment: shared calendars, notepad, discussion forums, messages, filesharing, etc all in the same app. That is groupware.
Even if you’ve had no experience with groupware, I think we could benefit from your thoughts on which language and GUI toolkit to use, as you seem to have quite a lot of experience in the desktop programming area.

Yeah, ok. If you need a forum moderator/manager some time in the future, do consider me… I’ll be glad to help maintain it if you wish

I could also help with the forum software upgrades, maintenance and so on. But it’ll all depend on whether I’ll be able to spare time for it.

As far as moderation and regular posting is concerned, you can count me in.

Wow, that would be great - thanks a lot, Hari! I couldn’t have hoped for more help I’ll replace the current forum with the new one this weekend.. Or, if I can find a few plugins which make it more appealing, I’ll keep it and tweak it a bit. In any case, I’ll add you as a moderator as soon as possible

Take your time, J_K9.

Also how much traffic to you anticipate on the site currently?

Shall I join the forum after you make the conversion to the new forum system or right now?
