...and so the release should hit the server in just a couple of hours. Of course, in the meantime, there are a few other notes of interest. Last month we raised another $77.19 in funding towards artwork and a new xserve.
For details, you can always keep track of the current budget, we try to update it at the beginning of each month.
Someone recently asked about why the xserve. Well, the short answer is that we want to promote the platform by operating on the same platform as we are targetting. We do that today, on a now aging, Dual G5 Xserve (RackMac3,1). That machine is still running strong, but we have no redundancy for the webserver, and it is also acting as the database server for the software that we have begun prototyping for our long term hosting for both this and druware (as well as the site that is being used as the prototype, twowheeljunction.com). In addition, we will be moving our subversion repository and our issue tracking systems away from sourceforge.net in the long run.
The reason is that SF.NET drives a couple of us insane. It could be argued that it is not in fact a drive, but is instead a very short walk to insane for us, but that is neither here nor there.
Our preferred Issue Tracking tool is Atlassian's JIRA product, and that is where we will go as soon as we get moved to a new xserve, possibly sooner if we can swing the funds to upgrade the current xserve to Leopard Server.
Also of note is the work going on over in the 'Data Access' section of the site where we've started assembling documentation for the new PGSQLKit framework.
As soon as the final build is finished packaging, I'll pop the dmg to the server. When I do, we'll talk about the release.
