I was rather active in the earliest TI-calculator community and some traces of this can be seen here:
http://www.df.lth.se.orbin.se/~mikaelb/lut/calc-ti.txt

This was first in the GRAPH-TI mailing list and then in the UseNet Newsgroup:
news:bit.listserv.calc-ti
(There was also a bit.listserv.graph-ti newsgroup but I think it was short lived.)

There was also some private correspondence.

I also have my website with old programs and one new for TI-calculators:

On an off-topic note, does anyone know how to figure out the URL of a wiki logo? I was wondering since I wanted to put it in the news post but it seems the link is hidden, encrypted or something.

It's in the css, and got it with firebug

@DJ_O: Thanks for making a news post. I've been spending all of my time merging the site contents, so I completely forgot to give you guys (and Cemetech) an update.

@mob-i-l: I actually came across your site when I was researching Graph-TI and Calc-TI Like everyone else here (except you), I wasn't around for that part of the TI community, so the best I could do was read about it and try to piece everything together. Speaking of which, would you mind looking through the timeline page on TI Story, and filling out some more of the early events that happened in the TI community? I would also be interested in hearing about what the TI community was like then. Honestly, I'm really excited to see you on this site... I feel like a little kid again

I wonder if Fryedsoft is still around? THat guy joined the TI community in 1993 and maybe he could fill some sections out if he have the time. Also Travis from ticalc has been around since 1994 or so, if I remember.

EDIT: Did TI-Files really have 42 staff at once or were every staff listed?? Maybe we need some rules about consistency so for example, only founders and final staff are listed or retired staff are flagged as retired on the history page of the site. I would probably have to search hard through Omnimaga staff to make sure I don't miss any retired staff, though, because since the site had strong policies regarding staff activity and had a lot of staff in the first place, it had many.

Also how do we upload images on pages? Because the main logo shown in the summary is the one from almost 11 years ago and we used the following one since March 2004:



In fact, in calculator programs this one was used since 2003, although the fonts were slightly different.

I actually emailed Ed Fry and Travis Evans about two months ago, but I didn't get any response. I suppose I could always email them again

I simply listed all of the staff of TI-Files on the page; trying to classify people as retired or final staff would be quite difficult, as TI-Files had a rather high staff turn-over rate and I don't know enough to make that judgement call. Creating that page actually took several hours of researching with ticalc.org, the Wayback Machine, and googling; it was also made more difficult because of the robots.txt file that prevents the Wayback Machine from archiving/accessing a site. I agree that there needs to be some guidelines created for consistency, but that is really only possible if you have a group of people helping...

You can upload an image by hovering over the other tools button on the top of the page, and then clicking the manage files button in the dropbox.

It's really cool to see a site like this developing that will chronicle the TI community history

It's really cool to see that you're still around the TI community

Cool! Finally I can look at the ti history!

Oh I thought you could just right click on the picture and choose open link in new tab.

Only when it's an image element, not when it's a background image.

As for Firebug for FF, chrome has the javascript console which I've found immensely useful and similar to Firebug

I think Firebug was meant as a set of web developer tools similar to the WebKit console (which Chrome uses) for Firefox, which hadn't had its own complete set until Fx 11 (the current version).
