The Okopipi Project

I just realized how Okopipi got its name! From the Wikipedia entry for Dendrobates azureus:

Dendrobates azureus is a type of poison dart frog found in South America, specifically in the Sipaliwini District in Suriname. Dendrobates azureus is widely known as the Blue Poison Dart Frog or by its Tirio Indian name, Okopipi.

Why didn't Blue Frog think of that?

We are at a critical time in the project's development, after stalling once, we need to keep going. We're at the stage now where we can begin to write code, but we're lacking one important thing - coders.

If you are a programmer, please read the draft paper and contact Journeyman.

If you aren't a programmer, please ask any programmer friends of yours to do the above, or read the draft and offer your constructive critisim, comments and suggestions.

None of us want to see this project fail, please keep support for it strong, and keep spreading the word.

Just to let you guys know, all web mail was temporarily enqueued over at my webhost due to several spam messages being sent from several different webservers.

They seem to have fixed the problem, and everything is getting sent out as normal now, but you may notice quite a few messages coming into your inboxes from the website with dates from a day or two ago, just to warn you.

More info here.

I am hopeful the Okopipi Project will produce a viable anti-spam product / client real soon. It's becoming quite problematic out here for those of us who took on 'blue-frog' and have been laid low in the sights of the SPAMMERs. It's getting hot out here. Send HELP soon.

I've moved the beta site over to the live site. It seems to be a great place for informal communication, as well as codifying our documentation in something a bit more static than a wiki.

Feel free to create blog entries on this site, submit stories, and comment 'till you're heart's content.

About the site

The site's based on Drupal, with several extra extensions added in, including Bio (create your own bio), quote (to quote other comments), book (to create our documentation pages), and pathauto (for automatically generating these nice path aliases instead of everythi
