Hi folks, [/tab]Shaking off all lethargy, we've finally decided to start Project Antilost for once and all again - and this time we intend to take it to the final stages of completion, whatever it might take. For those who're new to this concept, I'll quote one of my old posts when we started working on this project last May (2005). Lack of time and work-pressure caused us to veer off from our objective - but we're back again and this time we plan to make it a giant success. QUOTE This is the first concrete step to be taken towards development of AntiLost - our dream. I've noticed a whole lot of confusion on AstaHost regarding the purpose of this site and its exact nature. Here I'm going to make the first ever public announcement regarding whole issue. But first things first: My heartfelt and sincerest thanks and regards to OpaQue - our beloved Admin from Astahost and Trap17 - without whom, this wouldn't have been possible. OpaQue donated the domain AntiLost.Com to this cause and triggered off the movement. Now, it is upon us to work together and make it a giant success. AntiLost[tab]The whole point of trying to launch an OpenSource Collaborative Software Development Site was to create something on the likes of Sourceforge.Net, where a well-coordinated team of contributors from all around the globe strives to create new software products or enhancements to existing opensource ones. I've had this idea on mind for a long time, but wasn't being motivated enough to get started on this project. But now, it's a REALITY.  More so, because recently I've noticed that there has been a huge influx of very well-trained programmers at AstaHost - without who's support I wouldn't have dared to embark upon this venture. It's humanly impossible to organize and run something of such a huge scope all alone. My thanks to all of them for their active support to get me started in the first place. What exactly will this site develop? [/tab] Anything. Which means, we'll deal with any kind of software that our members want to actively take part in and develop as a team effort. Not only will this help in solving the endless jumble of code far quicker - but contributions from a solid global knowledge bank will make such software stand way out against its commercial competitors in respect of features & operability besides being provided FREE OF COST to anyone who wishes to download and use them. At the beginning - this is going to be primarily IN HOUSE, i.e. we won't be open for project hosting till we've run into a decent degree of success. Till then, we will concentrate our efforts on developing systems to either enhance our own boards at AstaHost and Trap17 AND host new projects for existing members of these boards ONLY. What kind of Software Licensing Policy shall we employ?[tab]Since our ulterior motive is to run a site that houses OpenSource Projects, our licensing policies for each software developed and housed at this site will involve GNU GPL, OpenSource Copyleft etc. - all the free opensource licensing policies that will protect our software from being ripped off and commercialized. This means, any general user will have full access to our source codes as well. More on this later. What needs to be setup at this site primarily? [/tab]To run the kind of operation we intend to, we will need (apart from this board):
- An opensource project manager software - that will enable us to track the progress of any under-development project, uniformly distribute workload, assign specific tasks to members, set immediate project goals etc. I've a few suggestions on mind. One is an almost completed stable production release of an opensource project manager named DotProject (http://www.dotproject.net) and another one is a partially designed one still in it's teething stages named SZProjectManager (http://www.subzane.com/projects.php?project_category_id=1) - both written in PHP.
- Other than that, we will also need some sort of a web-based interface for CVS (Code Versioning System) that will enable us to compare differences between the different code/module versions, effectively track changes etc.
- Yet, a third feature that we will need to incorporate is a web-driven interface to some popular C++/Java compilers, wherein project members will be able to compile and check the output of short pieces code. This will be done in view of the fact that a lot of members whon't have access to a decent compiler at work-place or schools, where they might want to see the output of some sudden bright spark they had
How can I contribute to this site?[tab]You can primarily contribute in the coding challenges that we're soon to take up - domains would include C/C++, Java, PHP etc. And if you don't consider yourself to be much of a coder, you're more than welcome to take part in the continual development/improvement of the site itself or even in the interface improvements of our various projects. If nothing else, you can chip in a little out of your valuable time helping us write project documentations. All are equally welcome - doesn't really matter where your skills lie. You can always contribute to some aspect or the other. Best Regards & Best Wishes, miCRoSCoPiC^eaRthLinG [/tab]So here we are seeking help open-handedly, from all of you who can spare a few minutes everyday in participating and helping us transform this dream into a massive reality [tab]Whatever walk of life you come from - whether you're a coder or a graphic artist, a web-designer or simply none of those - you can still help us go a long way by simply taking out 5 minutes of your valuable time everyday and taking part in discussions & development of this project. Everyone's welcome.. So do drop by at Antilost.Org. Hope you'll have an enjoyable journey with us. Best Regards, miCRoSCoPiC^eaRthLinG

As I said then, I will say the same now. I am not much of a coder, though I learned some PHP. My main focus right now I ActionScript2.0, XML (Flash as well  ) and graphics. My CSS knowledge is pretty much ok, though with CSS2 and 3 I need to brush it up again, but even the best of us use google every now and then. I think my best shot at contributing would be a user manual, the graphical interface and that's about it. Sorry M^e, I am just not that great at coding (YET- which is the imperative word here.) Also, I seem to seriously lack time to be here and be very present, so I don't know how that will work out. I have a few things on my plate waiting for me to finish them (eg. school LOL)

I'm definetly not much of a coder, but if I can be of any assistance I would love to help out. I might be able to help out with documentation - i.e. user manuals, production documentation, or even website management if you would like my help...I'll go register at the site and hope to be of help.

Thanks to all of you for your active interest in this. I'm really glad to see so much of enthusiasm about this. On the other hand, I'd definitely like to see some more participation from other members of this site - we've plenty of really talented people here and it'd be a pleasure working with all of you. As I said once earlier - coders, non-coders, graphics artists, ardent gamers - ALL ARE WELCOME This is a collaborative project and any ideas you care to share with us can be beneficial for it. So don't shy away - join Project Antilost instead and be a part of this great movement

Well, to everyone that is not a coder, I am not one either, though I am there See we don't need just coders, people who are good in designing lay-outs, graphics for programs, skins even are welcomed just as much. Or people who can help with the manuals of the programs, with documentation... Everybody is welcome, even if your only forte is to talk calmly to get some sense into someone who's about to lose it And you can also learn there THat's why it's a good idea to have a nice community there. Also, you can help spread the word

Hmm. Open-Source Game Section. Sounds interesting. As far as I am aware, viz is building (or has made) his own Game company thingy. I'm also interested in Game design and development. Consider the forum made AntiLost is flying high this time, and a better and more varied audience is getting involved. I can't wait for the future.

Ahhh... thanks for that little bit of advice, derouge. I think I heard that stuff a couple times more from other people but hmm, now I can't think it's just a way to get me into only one language. Yeah, I'll probably finish HTML and then start off with PHP. Might you know where I can learn PHP on the Net? For example, online tutorials like htmlgoodies.com ?? By the way, on the first day I was learning HTML at the site I listed above, I was very sleepy - it was VERY boring!! But... BUT - the end results were very satisfying  It's so great to see your own work... A simple page with nothing but a bolded " This is my first web page" Hahaha!! HTML... cool stuff
