Exactly my thoughts. news.ticalc.org was my original idea, but I'm wondering if they'd be able to monitor it. Maybe have it hosted somewhere here, but with the ticalc.org subdomain?

I don't know. Do they still offer subdomains?

I'll call tev, nikky and chronomex on that topic :)

But nope, mha does not seem to open new subdomains anymore, even for simple static HTML pages. Maybe the policy has changed recently, we'd have to ask him ;)

EDIT: on #ti, chronomex reminded me of his http://tiz80.com/ and http://ti68k.com/ domains. After creating a free account, you can have up to 5 subdomains or Web forwards.

I, too, would love to see it on ticalc.org.

We could always throw it at TI-Freakware :p I have so much space and bandwidth not being used it isn't funny, and it is quite non-biased.

Also, I'm seeing a very disturbing lack of news posts from TI-Freakware in that list :< Epic sadness.

I think the ticalc news front page and news.ticalc.org would overlap in funtion and lead to confusion. Actually any subdomain would be less suited than a normal domain. Has anybody got additional domain name "space" that we could use? I know from my own hosting (the ones I administrate) that you often get like 4 domain names or so that can link to different internal folders = on one server.
Maybe ti-news.org? And people from all over the community could get access to the frontpage.

I still have an unused domain, plus I have all the name.tifreakware.net link ups I could want. (Well, looks like I have 86 left, but still :p)

Heck, I would be happy with http://ticalc.org/newsfeed to access a ti-news.net type of community news system.

If tifreak is willing to host it on his place, I think that may actually be the best bet.  His community is non-biased (unlike Omnimaga, cemetech, UTI, ticalc, etc.) and plus maybe he'll get more traffic :).  It wold be nice for people to frequent the non-biased TIFreakware more often.

Yeah a real domain name is better.

THe only concern I have about tiz80 and 68k domains is: Does the site have to be related to z80 calcs only for z80 domains and 68k for the others? The thing is with a new TI-News, which would be Calc-News, we wanted to push things further by also including Casio news.

I think we need to continue the trend Omni started that Cemetech joined later which involves uniting the Casio and TI community more.

Yeah, that's another problem with the tiz80 and ti68k domains -- they imply they're only for a small family of calculators.

From what I remember from last time the conversation about ticalc.org subdomains came up, there were no plans to open new ones due to the time and effort involved. The big concern from people like Magnus had to do with potentially large amounts of work involved on a system for not enough gain, especially when any non-static content comes into play.

Yeah the thing is that a site like TI-News, while attracting new people to ticalc.org, might also make people who are busy visit ticalc a bit less often to check news, thus, seeing archives less.

In any case, I think a TI-News-like site should only display like the first 200 chars of each news article or something and have commenting disabled. A "Read more or comment" link would redirect to the site article in question.

tev: well, dynamic content was not in the proposal I drafted on on UTI after the discussion on #ti (cross-linked from Omnimaga , Cemetech , yAronet and TI-Planet formerly TI-Bank) and sent to mha, Cc nikkys & travise & duncans, by e-mail ;)
