| Now that new sets are our for both SWM and DDM I was wondering if you could do updates to the services around the site that are falling behind. Side question: are you the sole entity responsible, now, for these type of updates and issues? I hate to assume.
For starters the icons for DDM War of the Dragon Queen and SWM Champions of the Force.
Also, the hordelings format export feature is not properly working. WotDQ data is not formatted properly and it is not registering under the hordelings importer for the h/w This is a confirmed maxminis issue as everything on that end has been checked and confirmed in order over at hordelings.
There is also no gallery for WotDQ.
Thanks. | | Trades >> Completed: 49 | Bad: Ø | Pending: 0 | Trade & talk Live on IRC! SERVER: irc.psionics.net CHANNEL: #maxminis | |

| People - if you want to complain about the webmaster, don't derail threads that are actually asking for things. If I see it happen again, I will *not* be happy.

Wuzzard has been doing much of the coding recently. I'll pass your requests on (although it wouldn't surprise me if he already knows). I'm sure he's being distracted by investigating a major upgrade of the forum software.

| It used to be that once someone pointed out that some data was missing one of many moderators/volunteers with access could add the data, since there were online apps that allowed editting of the info. Now its not so straight forward.
Jai changed how the data was stored (from db to xml file) in order to enable the new gallery app he was building and it then became only updatable by Jai, or someone with ftp access to the hosting site.
We are still trying to figure out what changed and how to re-enable editting of this data by a broader group. Webmaster is actively recreating the minis-db app that allowed this to work, that no longer exists.
H/W list export to hordelings was also implemented by Jai. Now that Kevin and Jai are no longer contributing to these apps they will likely languish or be removed.

Why is that? Hordelings is still absolutely committed to interoperability between the sites, as it has been since it spearheaded the effort to create a standard for moving H/W list data. Is Maxminis no longer interested in interop?

| It would be a mistake to remove this tool... we're all supposed to be on the same team, DDM SWM, what have you. Lets make it easier to worktogether, not harder!

| I was not making a statement for maxminis. Maxminis is a community of volunteers. Therefore 'someone' has be interested in maintaining for its to be maintained. The ones who were interested are no longer doing so. Therefore, I am guessing that no one will.
I'll be happy to be proven wrong. [:)] | | | |
