After getting some backend stuff set up, I thought it would be a good idea to discuss why nueROM is moving to the new format as a test. There are several reasons we are moving to this new format.
- PPCGeeks.com has been a great home for nueROM so far, but the forum thread-based format makes management difficult. Even though I was granted the honor of moderator status at PPCGeeks, shifting through bug reports and feedback was still a difficult task.
- Threaded discussions weren’t the best format for posting about nueTools, as small tools would frequently just end up being pushed back several pages, and I would continue to get e-mails asking about where to find them.
- The ftp site based hosting is still great for small project, but with the number of builds nueROM goes through, it becomes difficult to manage. Even with mirroring offers, it still wasn’t the best setup.
PPCGeeks.com will certainly still be the vehicle for discussion about nueROM, as well as anything else PocketPC related.
