Verbosify beta-testers wanted

[zeborah]

Thunderbirds are go.

More or less: the software remains under construction and so does the layout -- but we have an nntp interface and a web interface and most importantly we have self-registration.

So can anyone who's interested, please head on over to https://verbosify.org/, click on "Register", create an account, and then read and post away to your heart's content via nntp or web or both.

Notes as I think of them:

• The nntp host is verbosify.org


• In the sign-up process there's a check-box - that's to do with nntp authentication. If you can't get your newsreader to work when the box is unchecked, then try checking it. (MacSOUP requires it checked, for instance.)


• alue.* groups relate to the software; verbosify.* groups relate to talk about actual writing, ie our ultimate purpose.


• Wow, we really need to update this layout.


• If you see any bugs, or features you'd like, please post about them in alue.devel. If the bug means you can't post to alue.devel, please post about them here or email me.


• Don't worry if something you do breaks something -- in fact Antti-Juhani gets excited when this happens. (I've managed to bring down the entire server more than once, though I think he's ironed out the bugs that allowed that.)


• We make no warranty, express or implied, about, well, anything. But it's fairly unlikely that your computer will explode or your cat sprout wings.

It hadn't occurred to me to try one of the test groups. Dur. I cannot post to alue.test either, which bodes ill for the other ones. I can read the restricted groups. I have not tried posting to one.

Useful information, thanks! albeit frustrating... Hopefully Antti-Juhani will know what to do with it.
