| Description: |
2009 was an eventful year we had over 300 Gb of XOOPS modules downloaded. The server have been relocated to an off short service provider who has resellers in australia called www.servage.net.
We where worried about how much cpanel we where seeing and looked for a customised solution for hosting. You know when you see to much of something and seen people with experiences of over rated service running cpanel - well servage offers a simple web 2.0 system they have written themselves. It isn't just for small fry.
2009 was an eventful year, the owner of this website Simon Roberts was married to Elpiniki Iosif in may 09. Which meant there was an unproductive time of development.
There aren't very many fiscals to report, a donation of 20 USD was paid by one of our clients and a few t-shirts where also donated.
Simon was promoted to XOOPS Developer on www.xoops.org and has been maintaining the code with the 2.4 series of xoops, his role included expanding the options in the object class to support International Domain Names and multiplex language flat file system for future expansion of PDO and other features in xoops.
Some documentation was expanded in the wiki and there where a couple of acquisitions of website domains. The domain registrar operating on this ABN is turning over approximately 60 AUD per month which is used for extending the registration of domains we own. more... |

Thanks Fernandos, from a theme designer point of view i thought you would like heaps of options for WURFL I thought you would like it, micheal md from www.spraci.com said he liked wurfl for his portal. You can easily add a switch to redirector and make a WURFL Portal.
