The nuxle.us Project Community Server Now Live

While theirs still a TON left to do, I just finished off the rough draft of the intro at the root of the community section of the nuxle.us project which explains in greater detail what this project is all about, and what its not about, as well as other projects such as ChannelXML that are connected.

You can access this now via http://nuxle.us/community/.

Items still on todays to-do list include:

* Create forum topics
* Create blogs for the existing community members (myself, Kurt, Uche, Russ, Sylvain, and DonXML) [*]
* Integrate the new UI including skinning the Community Server interface to match the new UI
* Create the SVN repository
* Finish off the installation and implementation of the Trac interface
* Pull together the various existing code pieces and check them into source control
* Smile knowing I met my personal Jan:One deadline

I also need to:

* Get in contact with Uche to discuss extended details of SAML as well as other project elements
* Discuss further details with Eve and gain her insite into various topics

But these are less critical as far as meeting my Jan:One self-imposed deadline. Important, yes. But I'm pretty sure neither Uche or Eve or sitting by their computers waiting for my correspondence ;) :D

Regarding the first list, I think I can do that in the three hours I have left before the midnight MST deadline. If I don't...

Please keep in mind that this is still all very much side work for me as I have two eager (as they should be!) publishers to please first, filling in my spare time with extra-curricular activities such as the nuxle.us project (and others... LOTS of others :D) I have my doubts that anyone else on this planet except me cares all that much, so I'm not all that stressed over it. But theres a certain satisfaction that comes in meeting deadlines, so if anything, thats whats driving me in this particular instance. :)

More to come soon. :)

[*] - Please let me know if you have interest in blogging on this system (note: these are not personal blogs, and will only contain entries that have something in particular to do with this project. Not that I don't care about your dog Fluffy's new christmas sweater, just that I would rather read about it on your MSN Spaces (or similar) blog where things like that are more appropriate. :)
