ok, I skipped a few posts on this line due to some troubles, a note here the former owner did this, switched to a wikki and that is when the blind programming site went flat on its nose then we lost the site and then the site nameI will assist where possible, but I have to wonder if this try will do any better than the first one did?up to you folks, just wanted to let these facts be known. elf Owner: Alacorn Computer Enterprises Specialists in customized computers and peripherals - own the might and majesty of a Alacorn! www.alacorncomputer.com proprietor, The Grab Bag, for blind computer users and programmers http://grabbag.alacorncomputer.com----- Original Message ----- From: "Jared Wright" <wright.jaredm@xxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, July 04, 2010 7:48 PMSubject: Re: Where did the blind programming site go?: was: programming tutorialsDefinitely no deficiency, but it requires Jamal to handle putting all the content online himself. Same for Elf with his site. This way the community can directly effect the site's content, which will probably lead to more relevant and up to date information.

We could run the email list from there in fact we could run multiple and we could have a droople page where everything is kept. The same people that work on it now could do what little they can do an we could all share the responsibility.ken -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx[mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jackie McBrideSent: Sunday, July 04, 2010 8:28 PM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Where did the blind programming site go?: was: programming tutorials I think it's the only way to go, Ken. Drupal is powerful enough to host anything from a simple website to a large online community, accessible both in terms of its administration& useability,& is perfectly suited for something like this. I've partnered w/a web developer friend of Mine, Elise Lonsdale,& used drupal to make http://jawsscripting.lonsdalemedia.org We've found it to be a rewarding venture in terms of the way Drupal works. It does have somewhat of a steep learning curve initially, but I think that's the same w/all web development. Elise says it's a lot easier than other CMS's she's worked with. My vote is, if u can get it, we should do it. On 7/4/10, Ken Perry<whistler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:I don't understand why we don't get a droople page set up. If people are interested I will talk to APH about hosting a true droople site for blind programmers. I would end up being the one choosing editors so I could letany number of you guys edit the page. It would be done with the simplewikilanguage and would be easy to use.

I can send it to you and you could link it to your site. I don't have website hosting at the moment or I'd do it. It would make much more sense to place it in a frequented site like yours or the blind developers' site though. Could structure it by giving each language a heading with links to the corresponding tutorials in an unordered list. Make it quick to navigate that way. Would also make sense to link any editors, ide's and compilers within it as well so it's a one-stop experience. I think this would make for a flexible format because if someone wants to let us know about a link to tutorials for a language we don't have, all we have to do is add a heading for it Any thoughts? Alex M ps There's another Alex out here somewhere. Figured I'd sign with my last initial to keep confusion to a minimum.
