I've gotten some supportive replies to my message asking for the chance to help resurrect this mod. Lierduh has indicated he's willing to pass it on to somebody new, so long as it stays a no-cost hack. I agree with that!

I've printed out the php and xml files so I can start looking over the code and getting a feel for the scope of what we're working with. Fun... :tired:

What I need to know next is how you manage a modification thread here on vB.org? Is there a "Newbie's guide to publishing a hack?" I haven't found anything like it yet, except one sketchy announcement at the top of the 3.5 mods forum.

Otherwise, is there a developer out there who'd take a few minutes to talk me through the basics?

Do we start out in this thread or jump right in and start a new 3.6.1 thread and do all of our bootstrapping in plain view? Or launch a development thread someplace a little less obtrusive and wait 'til a solid beta is ready to put it up on the 3.6.1 forum? Has anyone seen how it's done?

As I said, I've got the time and interest to keep the files and documentation updated as you all fix bugs and add features. I can also work on the installation instructions, since I'll be doing a lot of installing and testing.

By the time we're ready to release for 3.6.1 (or .2) I'll probably be able to contribute my share of coding and support.

That much should let people start installing and using the hack again. Then we can step back and take a look at what we want to do next...

TMM-TT and Aylwin have both listed features they'd like to see added. I've my own list as well. If we can attract the interest of a couple more folks who've used or are using it, we may have enough momentum to make a go.

I hope so.

Answers, ideas, or suggestions anyone?

Thank you,

Mike D.
