Comments imported from old/alpha site

Below are the non-spam comments from the early Drupal 7 alpha of this site for posterity. Due to the large number of spam comments, the owner/parent is uncertain:

• aniasf or aangel: Ok, I installed git, signed up for an unfuddle account, and uploaded my public key to it. When I try to clone the repository though, it doesn't work: $ git clone git@aangel.unfuddle.com:aangel/td-d7-standard.git Initialized empty Git repository in c:/src/td-d7-standard/.git/ ERROR:gitosis.serve.main:Repository read access denied fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly How does unfuddle decide which accounts have access to a repositroy? I have been following the work Drupal developers have been/are undertaking around Church "bundles" or packages. I think there is a lot to learn from their efforts. Please let me know how I can be of assistance as a representative of Transition US, and someone well versed in Drupal. I am particularly interested in adaptability, scalability, and maintainability. Let me know when the forums are open as I know several folks from across the globe intimately familiar with Transition who would like to be involved.
  • Sharing backyards is great!....perfect for Version 2.0 (we don't have the developers to put it into Version 1.0 at this moment).
• joholondon: V1 features. I am a forager rather than a techie person. My first impression is that you should keep features to a minimum if it's any way going to slow things down in producing the site and also allowing people to add the information. Like the idea of a fruit image, however, there are an enormous number of edible plants and parts - e.g. including leaves and roots. So this might be hard to achieve. Might be worth allowing people to search for a particular fruit type so if we're doing a cherry harvest we can easily spot all those trees. As long as it says something like "outside number 32" I can find the tree without having a photo. Could have separate leaf / fruit id elsewhere for novices. Ditto harvesting method. I'd also argue size of tree is less important. So, to summarise, I'd say the key requirements are edible plant type, location and whether it's public or private (with the owner's contact details if possible). Anything else, like yields, could go into notes.
• permaculturecoop: There have been requests to build software that allows community place planning that allows for design submissions, voting, community feedback and design iterations. For example: If we are working on a sidewalk garden and new plaza: Thecommunity will be able to submit design ideas, vote on them and iterate with additional features. Or - The peninsula residents are currently putting in a new high speed train and they would like to provide feedback on the design that is specific to each neighborhood. Provide ideas, iterate designs and vote.
• rocdesine: In some Transition Towns there are backyard sharing programs in which gardeners without territory are matched up with people with backyards available to share out for the purpose. There is a central backyard sharing site ( http://www.sharingbackyards.com/ ) which uses Google maps but a localized module would likely find a lot of appeal among transitioners. It would probably fit under your item 5 above. / jd
