[contrib] txpmag.com
i sent an email via txpmag.com’s contact form about a month ago and i’ve just sent another today in regards to possibly providing regular, updated articles about the happenings and going-ons with textpattern. i’ve yet to receive any replies.
is anyone in touch with the contributors behind this site? it has not been updated in quite a while. alexandra has been absent from the board for several months it seems as well.

Re: [contrib] txpmag.com
I noticed that as well.
Sometimes, personal reasons can bring a project like this to a halt, which I hope is not the case.
In the hope, that Alex is well and before any conclusions are made, let’s wait for some news from Matthew and the others.
regards,

Re: [contrib] txpmag.com
there is no interest by anyone to salvage that project?

i’ve attempted to contact them over the past two months now about this. i even specified that if there was an issue with time commitment, life pursuits etc etc i’d be more than willing to volunteer and at least keep some steady flow of articles/content/whatever, if not the entire project. didn’t get any responses via their contact form though.

Re: [contrib] txpmag.com
The most reasonable thing, that I would have done in Alex place is to give off the domain and baseinstallation with the content tab.
As she is not responding to any e-mails, that means for me that she wants the thing to be there as a monument ( or as a corpse, if you prefer ), not to take it down entirely.
Hard to understand really, good to know at least that she’s well.
All the best to Alex then, whatever she desires.
regards, marios

Re: [contrib] txpmag.com
Is it Alex’s own domain or is it a Joyent hosted site?

whois at dotster lists it as Alex’s domain. The nameservers I do not recognise as being those of textdrive. Not sure what the Joyent nameservers are.

It certainly used to be her own but I can remember there being talk of moving to textdrive some time ago. I sent her a message via her german txp-site. Maybe she’ll put her head around the door briefly – it’d be nice to see her back.

Re: [contrib] txpmag.com
OK! TXPQ. It’s an alternative to TXPmag.com.
The idea is for it to become a true community site, ie run by YOU. For now I will do my thing but TXP is mostly a young people’s community. So here is your chance to write good articles and link back to your site. Get all your friends involved. Guide or kick TXPQ in the direction you want it. We can all help each other here. Anyone who gives good input will get the reward of watching their baby grow. If page rank is your main concern, then write great articles and the page rank will shoot up as people link to them.
I’ve enjoyed writing what’s on there and I might get into it. But I might not… I want it to answer questions like What makes TXP so cool? and Who makes TXP so cool? If you can write interesting articles somehow related to TXP, then TXPQ will publish them. At this moment in time I reserve the right to make the final edit on any article submissions, however. Yeah, I got strong opinions, so it’s up to you to persuade me you’ve got what TXP readers want. Go for it! Enjoy the challenge. TXPQ is yours if you want it, but you’ve gotta show me you deserve it.
