Guys,
I've been looking around at hosting solutions and bluehost seems pretty good. I also noticed they install XOOPS and other nameless cms/ps systems with fantastico? Anyone had any experience with these guys. I have been using startlogic, but think my next project might require some storage space and bandwidth so I might change.

BTW,
They offer 4gig storage and 100gig xnfr, and tons of features, but number are just numbers until their service is stress tested. Webbased Reviews have been good though.

Thank You. I give it a test drive in a few moments. Just have to finish a little work for somebody else first.

When I mentioned fellow workers I meant upwards of 30,000+! Not all will use the repository. Some can barely turn on a computer, others already have their favorite hangouts for such, and others just won't want to use opensource freeware.

I figure several hundred users will sign up this year. As for the software I am only going to store opensource freeware counterparts to paid commercial software. The charm will be that a group of us are going to make the recogmendations of what opensource is a good replacement for software X! Sounds like a good idea to me, but lets see.

I don't believe downloads version 1.1 allows for uploads? I won't be the only uploading to the site. There will be a few other individuals that will occasionally help. I will pour other your site tonight after the gym. Thanks Inex for your thoughts and help. Any comments and opinions as always are welcome.

Hi kgmetcalfe,

I'm not rich and hope the company I work for will move the site to one of their servers. That would be ideal unless they ask that it be an intrasite only. This project needs to support fellow workers when at home too.

Starting out I can't image storing more than 30 or so files. I am just trying to find open source or truely free versions of commercial software that I and my fellow engineers can use in a broadcasting environment.

Right now my provider is startlogic. They provide 2gigs of space and 60gigs transfer monthly for $7.50 a month. Since I don't really know what I am getting myself into I have no way of knowning if what they offer is good enough.

Hey, what zip protocal do you recommend? Also does XOOPS have a download module that automatically unzips when the download is finished?

Guys,

What is the best practice for building a software repository? Not a mirroring... just a place to hold opensource/ freeware for those in my company (30,000+ users worldwide). I would like all software to be in a repository rather than using links. Is that a good or bad idea? How best do I keep notified of updates for software in my repository? Let me know what you think is the best way to build and manage a repository.

The mydownloads module doesn't have uploading capability or doesn't explicitly say to put the software into the uploads folder. Should I use the default uploads folder for this? I have several people inside the company willing to help review and fill the repository. What module is best for this? Also what is the best zip format to use across any platform?

Bandwidth and space might not be a problem for me, but am still working on my company to foot the bill for this. Just in case the company I work for wont handle cost what should I do to keep my cost down?

thanks guys

Inex,
BTW, Did you follow through XOOPS install guide? Just asking.
ch4[/url]xoops intall guide

I don't mind helping if I'm able, but it will be several hours before I can. I'm committed to dinner at a friends house and his wife will kill me if I miss. I should be home around 9pm mst. I would feel better if you create a secondary login for me, and once we're finished please delete the account and change your master account password. If I can't get you running on XOOPS just come back here and I am sure another might be able to help you.

My email is boltsarcanus@sbcglobal.com

Could you give us the details of your problems? We need to know a little more of whats going on before someone can help you. So how far have you gotten and what are the problems you're having?

Fadius,

I would look at two modules from our very own Smartfactory Guru (Marcan).

Mark,

Good job on your colors and layout. I like the color scheme. You might add just a little contrast to your page text for blind guys like me. :)
