elfsSo, I have bought a co-lo. It was pretty cheap, and I don't make any promises about it's efficiency or reliability, but I am hoping it'll be faster than the site at Drizzle. The official opening date will be July 1st, at the current schedule, provided no further disasters happen between now and then. Along with the move I'm hoping to update the look and feel of the website, and provide some more interesting functionality to the system.
The obvious answer to all the questions I'm about to ask is "Just provide it and see if anyone uses it," but I'd like to get a general feel: Would you like to see a Wiki for the Pendorverse (and should there be one Wiki for the Pendorverse and another for the Aimee' series)? Should I move my blog there and use something more familiar, like Wordpress? I'll have 3GB of storage rather than 10MB (yes, that's what I'm limited to) so there will be room for other formats (PDF? PalmDoc? What else?) as well as complete ZIP collections in those formats? How about an RSS feed of the story index, so you'll know when there's a new one easily? Would you guys use a forum to discuss the stories, or not?
The question really comes down to: what should I spend my time establishing on the new server?

Date: 2006-05-06 01:51 am (UTC)I subscribe to a number of RSS feeds (see my LJ for a list), and if you were to create one (besides the current http://www.livejournal.com/users/elfs/data/rss ), I'd certainly subscribe to it.
I'm perfectly satisfied with the current file-format; though if others would find them useful, that's fine too. A ZIP archive to download the entire set at once for offline reading would be handy, though.
I avoid web-forums, as I dislike the fact that once messages expire, they're gone forever - I greatly prefer email-based mailing lists (such as YahooGroups), and have some email archived from ten years ago, and even a few pieces of text from before then, in the days of dial-up BBSes. (Yes, as my login name says, I'm a "data pack-rat". :) ) I'd recommend that if you want to maintain control over your blog archives, that you transfer them to your own server; LJ is nice, but who knows where it'll be in five or ten years?
