What's the ETA for WebBox?

[mechBgon]

I'm thinking we could really use that WebBox as a focal point for new members. ViRGE, Mika, or anyone else involved, do we need some volunteers to help with some of that coding I heard mentioned, or what's the next thing on the agenda?

YES!!!!!
It's been way too long. There is a lot of ppl here willing to help.....

WOOOOOOO Mmmmmmmmmoooooooooooooooo

I'm in the middle of Plan B right now, so Mika should have a copy of Win2K Server soon. From there, it'll be however long it takes for Mika to finish the dev work.

It was mailed a week ago this Saturday. I hope the mail system north of the border is at least as good as it is south of the border.

Looks like its gonna happen soon then, I know of a plan C, or maybe D or E?

Thanks for the update, ViRGE! : ) Now what are the chances of getting Anand to make a front-page announcement about it, when it finally goes up? We could use the publicity, and it be an opportunity for people to sign themselves up for our mailing list (hmm!), especially people who don't come to the Forums much (yet). Maybe I'll work on an animated GIF for the "Yes, sign me up for the mailing list" link, since I'm on vacation this week... : ) Stay tuned for further developments...

 

[ViRGE]

I think there's very good odds that Anand will put it on the front page.

Can we have a refresher of everything we plan for it? Because in the sign up part, I still think it'd be a good idea to have it create a database of everyone who signs. Then, depending upon whether or not they checked the box "spam m...." erm....i meant "Put me on the Team AnandTech mailing list), we could send them updates at times. But i want to remind everyone that it should leave that box unchecked by default....I, just like wolfie, get pissy when they have boxes checked for me :|

So anyone want to update us on everything that it will have? Will it still have an "ask JonB" section? and the Rocksled Rant? Etc?
