[Radiance-general] Radiance Website

[Fuller Daniel]

Hi Rob - 

well I don't know if you got the announcement emails awhile back 

http://www.radiance-online.org/pipermail/radiance-general/2012-March/008454.html

but it is very much setup to support collaborative authoring as it is considered a community site with designated moderators  - so we are encouraging contributions ;-)

I guess all that needs to be done on my side is to make the site default instead of the legacy site which will perhaps force us to make the information more presentable...

Other than that its "ready to go"

Dan

The site is very much a labor of love, and is totally unfunded; Andy's been doing this work largely on his own dime. AFAIK, it's still the only planned centralized Radiance site. It'd be nice if it were implemented in something like Drupal, which would make it easy for collaboration on the site's content but I'm not sure how that would work with LBL. I know here at NREL that becomes a headache (managing collaboration with outside sources), which is why I wouldn't offer taking up such a project! I'm happy to say that it looks like we will receive funding to continue to maintain the Radiance binary offerings we do have, at least through FY13.  =8-)
