Martijn's Online chat 17th November 2014

rich_chandler · November 2014

Ok, so here the points of interest, summarised for those who can't be arsed to sift through all the wibble.

Martijn married his beloved 9 months ago.
On Saturday 22nd November he's leaving Holland to move to Thailand with his wife to start a family and a new life.
He's shaved off his moustache.
He's handed it over to a competent team.
He might return one day.
He's learning Thai!!
His guinea pigs are going to his mum.
Lee Fogarty is taking over the server and moving it to a newer (faster!!) server.
A new team has been assembled to maintain WoS.
A new system is being developed to allow any of the new team to maintain or update WoS.
The backlog will be cleared by the new team once we are happy the new system is working 100%.
Any changes to WoS will begin next year.
Lee has a new system half written but for now a clone of the current site will be moved to the new server.
Testing will be done before the clone goes live.
A dedicated server will be used to host WoS.
Funding will not be an issue to run the new server.
The forums will be copied "as is", along with all the posts. Nothing will be lost.
The forums will be on a separate server to WoS.
There are plans to update WoS, make it mobile responsive, and have additional info on the pages. This is not an immediate priority though.
Not only WoS will be copied to a new server but all the other related site (e.g.Speccy Spoilers, wiki).
ZX Shed is dead.

This is probably a good a place as any also to announce the new team.

Lee Fogarty (fogartylee)
Andy Barker (Andrew Barker)
Jose Soler (jlsoler)
Juan Pablo Lopez Grao (jpablo)
Martijn Van Der Heide (mheide)
Phillip Bee (fil)
Phillip Kendall (Philip Kendall)
Richard Chandler (karingal)
Stephen Studdard (mort)
Steve Brown (gilby)
Tony Barnett (ADJB)

We're all working hard to get the next generation of WoS up and running so please be patient and bear with us.

It'll be worth it!!!!
