"Wedgerats.org, and stuff"
 
   For those past and present wedgerats who don't know about it, this year's crop of 'rats has a site, http://www.wedgerats.org. I'm currently attempting to write a bulletin board from it, and I love the interface of this one... Might it be possible to get the source, or shall I write a clone?

Follow the "DCScripts" link in the page footer, it's there. (You didn't miss the link before, I forgot to include it in the first place... oops.)

Zoner's been an active contributor to the code base. He can tell you more about it later today, if we still have a network feed... :/

By 'active contributor' Truss meant '#1 contributor to the codebase, outside of the couple of guys who constitute DCScripts'. ;-)

$69 for non-commercial use, $99 for commercial use - and worth it. It is Perl based, runs where Perl runs (UNIX & NT officially supported). v6.1 is current, and I've released a number of mods for it. I've written more, and have more in the works, which I'll be releasing sometime soonish.

Work on v6.2 should be starting in the near future, and it is likely a number of the things I've done will be incorporated. (There are already a few in v6.1 and earlier revisions.)

   Darn, I lack funds... Another big problem is that I'd want to link it into the mysql based authentication and user information system I created over spring (and have yet to have a chance to integrate into the site, sigh again). Guess I'll just steal a few ideas and continue the prototype I've already coded up. Thanks :)

There is a 'DCFLite' version that is free, but lacks many of the features of the full version.

If you can hack Perl I wouldn't think it would be that hard to mod the authentication routine to look in MySQL instead of the flat file it uses now. I've considered adding support for UNIX /etc/password or /etc/shadow files and Apache httpd auth files, and perhaps RADIUS. But there hasn't been a lot of demand for such things, and I don't have a need for it - it'd just be something I'd do because I can. I have a list of features I would have use for that I'd do first though.

Adding native MySQL support is on the list of planned features for DCF, but probably not at least until the next major rev to 7.0.

   Hmm, I'm still inclined to write my own, for the simple fact that it'll probably be less hacky if I develop it for integration into my site from the start. How much research would I have to do to learn what to hack? Beyond that, which version(s) of the script (lite or paid) am I allowed to hack on? Oh, and will it run as Apache::Registry? (Poor little wedgerats.org is an amd100 with 64mb ram... it needs all the speed it can get)

1. You mean research on DCF? Not much I'd say.
2. Either. I hack the paid version.
3. Dunno.

   I'm kinda surprised you didn't just take over an SF meeting and pressure everyone there into it. You could have gotten a few of the _really_ elder Wedgerats on your page. Speaking of which, you didn't get any of the non-neos... did you not try, or were you actually rebuffed? That would be odd...

   That's mostly a case of a lazy webmaster. I haven't had the time (or the cessation of wrist pain... sigh) to get a huge amount of people or pictures in there. It's not meant to be a comprehensive list of rats, perhaps I should say so.
