Grex Coop10 Conference

Item 104: Roll Co-op?

Entered by dang on Wed Apr 29 01:06:13 1998:

Well, we've reached item 104, and had one recent complaint about the amount
of junk  (er, discussion :) here.  Is it time for a coop restart?  Should we
wait a while?  What do you think?
21 responses total.

Right!  just my luck.  I've spent two long nights reading all this conf,
just to get to the last item, only to find out that it'll all disappear
soon...

Now that you've read it you have a whole lot more information
and insight into how Grex operates.  What more did you expect
from reading co-op?

Or maybe you were joking.

Anyhow, I don't get the feeling this version of co-op is all
that large yet, dang.  But if others do then go for it.

Item 1 is dated July 1, 1997, making this edition of Coop ten
months old. One restart per year feels about right to me -- I
think that's approximately what has been done in the past. So
how about doing a restart at the same time as the summer Agora
restart?

When a restart is done, the old version doesn't disappear --
previous editions are kept around for a while. This is the
10th edition, and I see that coop6, coop7, coop8, and coop9
are still online.

you only have to slog through the whole item once to catch up, so it doesn't
seem too burdensome for users who are interested in grex's operational
management to read a conference of this to get background.

besides, you don't have to read it all at one sitting.

Roll over with summer agora is fine with me.  Now, how about ideas for a new
login banner?  And maybe a nice html one for backtalk?

If it uses the <BLINK> tag, I'm outa here!  :)


#7 of 21 by dang on Wed Apr 29 21:16:56 1998:

No <blink> tags.  I *hate* <blink> tags. :)


#8 of 21 by rtgreen on Mon May 4 04:28:10 1998:

1) I'd also veto <blink>, as well as those obnoxious scrolling banners...
2) I'd suggest restarting the coop conference coincident with the
installation of a new 'administration', that is, just after the election
of officers.

re: my earlier post on the time it took me to read all the conf to date:
Is there a way for me to download via FTP the entire conference as a
single file?  then I could read it offline at my leisure...

Couldn't you do

        read pass all > temp

at the "Ok:" prompt to accomplish the same thing?


#11 of 21 by davel on Tue May 5 01:59:50 1998:

Yep.


#12 of 21 by rtgreen on Tue May 5 02:52:05 1998:

Thanks for the suggestions.  I'm going to take these and dive into
jellyware!

The version of Picospan running here understands '>' just fine.
It's also smart enough to turn off the pager when you redirect
output, so you don't have to do that. (This also means that if
you use a "twit filter" pager, twits won't get filtered.)


#15 of 21 by davel on Wed May 6 21:19:43 1998:

Also true of extract, right?
If you use the twit filter, then, your iseps & rseps may look a bit funny,
I think, with the filter being bypassed.


#16 of 21 by remmers on Thu May 7 09:39:53 1998:

True.


#17 of 21 by dang on Tue May 12 18:22:38 1998:

So, any login banner suggestions?  I'd prefer "short" for the ascii version.
For the html version, I don't really care how long it is.  I full-screen my
browser anyway.

Re #1:  Me, too!!  I hade put off reading some items until I had more time,
and I just finished reading them.  *sigh*


#19 of 21 by dang on Tue Jun 23 18:41:20 1998:

Shall we roll co-op now?  I think the idea was around the agora roll.


#20 of 21 by remmers on Wed Jun 24 14:30:53 1998:

The concept rocks.
