Textpattern Support Forum

@Bert, I think Mary has actually been able to track down the problem. It was something quite tricky ( related to PHP )
I think it’s gonna work better, once we get off from MediaWikki.

regards

Considering that the dev team donations didn’t really work out, I can’t see the community paying for hosting either.

You’ve never asked for donations towards hosting. I’ll bet that a hosting provider would host Textpattern for free if they were given prominent placement on the front page, like you do for Joyent.

As for paying Filip to get things working, I would think that it’s in Joyent’s best interests to make sure Textpattern is humming along. Textdrive worked hard to get projects to come on board because they were setting up the right software atmosphere, is Joyent not conducive to open source projects anymore?

Do you think threads like this might have any influence, where they are thoroughly trashed and condemned for bugs in software they didn’t create, like Trac?

Since early in its history, TextDrive has provided support to open source software projects; the company donates a portion of proceeds from each customer’s hosting services to an open source project of the customer’s choice, and has offered hosting services specifically tailored for developers of open source projects.

Reid, is Trac not an essential part of an Open Source project’s tailored environment?

Perhaps. But Mary wrote: “It’s tricky because the file is buried deep in the Python installation (a downside to using Trac). We only just moved Trac to the new Accelerator, so this is your typical growing pains.”

And for what it’s worth, when I first read your initial post on Sunday, I emailed Jason to at least make sure he was aware of it, as there have been times people assume the problem is “known,” when in fact no ticket has been filed. And yes, that’s the same Jason who helped set up many things txp related prior to Textdrive’s existence, and who is still at Joyent.

While it is not only possible but highly likely that an Internet company’s focus might change in the course of four years, many of the people are the same. And it’s been my experience that, given a chance, they fix what’s broken.

Ruud, TextDrive believes open source software is important for the growth of the internet as a medium of communication, and proudly supports many projects and communities through the provision of servers, infrastructure, development tools and funding.

Reid, there’s a Spanish saying that goes – “Bebé que no llora, no mama”.
