We’ve been talking to the OS since November and can finally announce they are going to sponsor Geograph British Isles. We’ll be scaling the site to multiple servers and integrating proper OS maps over the next few months. Now that Geograph Project is proper non-profit company and all that, there’s even a press release 🙂
It’s great news, and I’ll be writing about how we scale the site here over the next few months.
Woo hoo!
I’ve been wondering if anyone would like a translated version of Pastebin? It gets a lot of use from Germany – any German coders want to volunteer some translated text? Happy to do other languages too, add a comment below if this of interest (either as a translator or pastebin user)
(EDIT: I’ve had offers for Albanian, Arabic, Simplified Chinese, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish,Turkish and Urdu – thanks folks!)
CVS access at SourceForge.net has been shaky for the past month. Couldn’t check anything into Geograph yesterday, and the SourceForge.net Service Status suggests it won’t be fixed until the 12th May (though even that looks like a guess).
Looks like it’s time to migrate it over to Subversion…
