it's stable on Mike's own system, it looks like testing with a range of
different systems can begin in earnest.
I think if we're going to do this, it would be good to have a
systematic way of documenting it this time. The time-honored system of
posting them here in the NG is great and folks will undoubtedly be
doing that, but a narrative-based system is painful to sift for
concrete info (I know, having recently done it to find a stable
configuration for myself).
So to that end, I'm working hard to figure out enough php, MySQL, and
other frontend/backend stuff (that hurts my brain to think about) to
create a database of PARIS system configurations where we can document
stable systems - both past systems and the many potential new systems
that this has suddenly enabled. The idea would be that you could go to
the Wiki and write your system info in and it would turn up in a
database for everyone else to search.
We'll see how far I get. Unfortunately my three qualifications for the
stuff I've taken on are 1) a lifelong inability to accept the statement
"it's just that way" at face value, 2) a willingness to learn new
things and 3) a bit of free time; any technical qualifications I'm
having to pick up as we go.
We're off into the future here, folks - and it feels pretty good!
