I happily stump up $5 a month towards a server. Go the whole hog, jabber, wiki, asterisk (free calls for registered users?) etc... No forum though, wee already got an excellent one here

what about the site? what sort of things are you thinking of including?
I did see that Asterisk plugin for Openfire... hmmm.

Sorry, was being lazy, hoping for a consolidated list I know the emphasis is on the services (jabber etc...) but wondered if you had any big plans for the web too. Liked zero's micro-blogging idea

I'd like each member to kind of have their own little area. microblogging, blogging, pulling from rss to show what they've been listening to on last.fm, links from del.icio.us.. an icon showing their current Jabber status (web presence).. kind of like one central page... "What I've been doing online lately".

At least, I'd like that for myself anyways. Don't know about anyone else.

jablet.net is live for me It may still take a while to propagate completely, and it will have to expire from your DNS if you hit the old record (tex' and zero'), but it's definitely transferred

facebook for n800 users then Nice concept, and most bits should be relatively easy to do, too

Okay, after playing around with it a bit, here's what I discovered.

1) The Jabber server appears to be an older version.. or at least running older transports, so avatars do not currently show up nor am I seeing proper status messages. It does work though, and for now, that's all we really need.

Avatars from IM gateways, I mean.

2) Creating Jabber chatrooms *does* work. The problem is that the server we need to use isn't simply conference.jablet.net (which would be the default). Instead, it's conference.jabber.jablet.net. You can enter this in the Account Control Panel. Click on the Advanced button and fill it in on chat server (I believe it's the very top of the list). It should work. Join me on jablet@conference.jabber.jablet.net once you've got it working. (That goes for anyone else that has a Jabber/Google Talk account anywhere.)

Actually, might not have to do that now that the domain's been setup properly.

More as I figure it out.

And yes pixel, that virtual hosting is exactly what I'm hoping to get to eventually.

I was going to up a small temporary page but the permissions on the directory are read-only for members of our group.

I see jablet.net on the new domain as well.

Zero, do I need to change some permissions? Actually I gave you guys 100% control over everything but billing...

EDIT: fixed. It was ftp password.

Before I go to bed...

It's been an exciting 2 days! Very nice to chat live with zero and pixel today, the culmination of some fast and frantic work!

I'm going to try to at least start defining roles. There's some obvious overlap between our skill sets but I'm sure it won't be hard to find focus for each of us. Here's how I guess it will work (by all means point out where I'm being idiotic):

Texrat
-site identity (logos, etc), promotional, financial, LDUG relaunch, some web work

Zerojay
-jabber server config, tablet scripting, unspecified

Pixelseventy2
-web site construction, web scripting, unspecified

How's that? Besides MySQL and future enhancements such as support forum and the other things zero has planned, what am I missing? Whatever it is, it takes the place of "unspecified".

Sounds good to me.

Screwing around with Ruby, mainly because I have no experience with it yet. Got it reading lines from the account information files. Play around with it more tomorrow.

Temporary "Coming Soon!" webpage uploaded. I love how perfect it looks on an N800 screen.
