[Dev-flock] status update

[Lucy R Mendel]

Mike and Dan: you guys are both doing excellent work! Very commendable.

I'm updating the strategy page and tickets. Our goals are high, but it 
looks like we'll have something presentable at the festival no matter 
what. Let's jam pack as much work into as we can. We'll get feedback from 
the festival, and then use a more moderate pace to tie up the loose ends.

my status:

The blog was down last week from Sunday to Tuesday/Wednesday 
(intermittent). I updated MySql to 5.0 from pre-4.1, resulting in password 
incompatibilities between the client (wordpress blog) and server. The fix 
ended up being fairly simple, but took quite a while to figure out. During 
the outage the YUM newsletter featured an article on us and our (highly 
anticipated!) appearance at the festival this Saturday. eit.

Currently I'm setting up pop mail so that staff can receive 
foo at ThoughtAndMemory.org via gmail or whatever. Or rather, so that clients 
see our domain in email addresses and thus think we are more established 
than working 'out of our (hotmail) garage.' Also, I'm  modifying a friends 
script for easy online navigation of the comic book pages.

Tonight I'm starting work on the user-centric view. It should show 
user status points, feathers, actions taken, things evaluated, impact of 
votes, ...? For now it will be ajax-less-- straight up django/html with 
links that bring up node centric views with argument tabs, etc already 
opened? <-- is that possible.
