Just wanted to emphasise there is also some CLLARE related documentation in there – the CLLARE Overview Document, which is probably the most complete/impressive thing we have produced so far.

You can find some fairly high resolution versions at this Wiki page.  As far as I know, there are no .svg versions of the logo, but there is a .eps, which I think is scalable.  It's not online yet (but I might do that now, it's overdue).  If you need it ASAP, PM me and I'll email it to you.

I have a Gmail account, but that doesn't seem to work here.  Under the login line, it says "@cstart.org" so I figured that meant an email address at this domain was required.  It seems like there are quite a few areas for various things to go, including the Wiki, GoogleDocs, Mercurial Repository, Dropbox, etc.  It might be nice to have some sort of listing and tutorial for accessing each of these archives/databases, and what their primary use is.  Maybe this is already posted somewhere but I'm still playing catch-up on a lot of these threads. 

Right now things really are scattered around quite badly.  It is a serious problem and one we need to address soon.  Personally I would like to see the use of third-party solutions for hosting files completely done away with: Dropbox and GoogleDocs should be ruled out, we should have our own solution and ideally we should one day have a single log in system for all our solutions.  I think the Mercurical Repository needs to be reserved for serious/official things rather than being somewhere to dump just anything (like concept sketches, etc).

The best solution might be to find some simple PHP web app we can install which lets people upload files of any kind to cstart.org/files, or whatever.  This should be used for anything which isn't polished/official enough to make it into the repo.  We can set the Wiki up to allow people to include external images from that domain and then disable the Wiki upload function to enforce its use.  To keep things organised we'd need to find some upload software which allowed tagging/categorisation, but this shouldn't be too hard.

This is just one more important good idea that we need to implement soon.  I am thinking of trying to convene a big IRC meeting soon with all active parties, like the one we had to prepare for SpaceUp, so we can work together solidly for a few hours and try to get a lot of this mess sorted out.  Unfortunately it looks like Rocket is going to be away for the next week, but we'll just have to soldier on without him.  Brmj is supposed to be back online today sometime, IIRC, so he should be able to help.  It will be vital that Rizwan be around for this since we will want to install lots of new software on the server.

I notice it's been a bit quiet around here lately (maybe because I'm one of the few state-side guys), but I think we all need to push each other to stay motivated. 

It is definitely quieter than usual these days.  In part this is just bad timing: brmj has been travelling around a lot lately and had his laptop break down during travel, and Rocket has been busy with work.  I don't know where rpulkrabek has gone, but he is usually around more often than this, too.  Hopefully in about a week or so Rocket will be back and brmj will have found a replacement laptop, or will at least be back home with his desktops, and we will see things pick up again.  Once we are back at full strength we definitely need to focus on getting ourselves a lot more organised.
