Congratulations, Prof!

Is that a Sim on the front page though? Looks like Juliet (robotized) from Veronaville!

The new chat pages look great; nice and streamlined!

Thanks, everyone. I'm really excited about the trip to NextFest. We're rushing to get everything working in time. I'm heading up a few days early to help.

Hejix - yes, you got it. It's from a robot family I made called the Omega family. That's Ember.

Wow! Whenever I stop checking in for a while, so much happens. Congrats Professor! You deserve a lot of credit for what you do. I'm glad you are able to team up with Hanson robotics. Let me join in the general cheering.

Prof: Good luck at NextFest! Great job getting the gig, and love the front page redesign!

I'm glad you like the redesign. It's going to spread to the inside, but I need to work out some Ajax magic to get it all working, and it will probably be after NextFest.

I agree - Albert Einstein bot is great!

Fo shizzle!

Prof, as for the forums, it might be more AJAX-y to go toward some kind of threaded forum.. It might be easier to get something that's already designed and drop in what we have so far each as a (big) thread. That way, everything would be searchable (and google-able).

What do you think?

searchable forums - damn good idea. According to my records, the idea has been mooted before, in Newcomers message #s 643-646, 682, 1802-1803, 3267-3268, 3325, 3478-3479, 3523, 3667, 3696-3698 (plug! see http://www.be9.net/BJ/Newcomers-index.htm.)
This is, however, the first mention of it in PF News - I shall update PFNews-index.htm (before it's even published!)

If there is any likelihood of the forums going all user-friendly on us any time soon, please someone (Prof) let me know - it would save a good many hours of future indexing. Hours that I could be doing something useful with, like teaching BJ Esperanto, or translating the New Testament into Interlingua

This might be a good time to re-moot a thought I had a while back: how about a Forge Wiki? We could set up something on a free Wiki server and turn it into user-generated documentation, harvesting the best of the forums.

Of course as a matter of courtesy we should only do this if the Prof agrees.

It would generate interest, so I don't think the Prof would object.... Good idea!
