Would be great if Devtome could be brought up again and/or made more resilient.
It needs someone that is willing to keep it maintained and work on monetizing it, really. The point behind it was to create an advertising powerhouse, which would purchase DVC off the market and help add buying pressure. So far, whoever is running it has failed to follow that vision.
I'm "Investor Administrator" for that reason! But never got access to improve the platform. I feel myself kind of ignored! Devtome would have huge success and I'm up to work on improving it but I need to have enough privileges for it. Currently I can only use the wiki like any other user, so it is near to impossible for me to achieve any significant improvement.
You're already an admin...
develcuy: admin, writers, users
Use this link:
http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=start&do=adminYes, but that is only within the application, I need access to the hosting in order to change stuff deeper as we need.
I'm talking to jasinlee at the moment about rehosting devtome on one of my servers. I might just give it it's own fresh server, in which case I can give you su access there.
Do you have any particular software requirements? Regarding hardware, I'll see what I can accommodate.
The most important thing is that we ditch our current advertiser and get the site acceptable to the higher paying ones (eg adwords). I recall we couldn't do this in the past because of our non-censoring policy, but I think we've proven that devtome can't survive without censoring. As a benchmark, devtome has been earning 0.001 btc per month from coinurl :/.
Is anyone able to figure out and suggest a plan of action on what we need to do to convert devtome to be adwords approved?
Is anyone an advertising fiend that knows how to best place ads? At the moment devtome only has one at the top, and I'm sure that could be made better.
