I have two things I really want to get done in the next couple of months with ps2dev. One is to get ps2sdk even partially started, and the other is release a send0r version 2 client. ps2sdk is currently being discussed, so the other is send0r..

I talked briefly with Drakonite about the protocol that send0r currently uses, and what basic features should be updated. The original send0r is a nice proof of concept, and I expect the new send0r will only be a very basic update to that, as I don't have a lot of time to spend on it.

The main thing to be added will be a set of forms so that anyone (with username/password) can upload programs to be distributed via send0r. Currently, send0r stores all binaries to a mysql database to make management a little bit easier and web friendly.

I would like the protocol used with send0r to be reasonably open to new features, so thought it would be best to see what ideas people have. Currently there is one request which will return a list of program descriptions. This is a bit restrictive and doesn't offer much scope for changes.

This single request will probably be broken up into atleast two requests. One will return a list of programs, and a second will return more details of a selected program with possibly an image, etc.

Anyone got any other thoughts?

PS I probalby should have written this when I was more awake. :)

Hi Ooples!

My name is Gorim (ok it isn't really but thats what I have been
known by, well, not very well at least, in the PS2 linux/dev community,
but thats because I am only now decloaking, not that I am Romulan
or have anything against them, but...anyway...)

As I said, I am only now decloaking, so y'all (Thats Texan for "You all")
don't know me very well, but I know イユ’アル (Thats Japanese for Y'all)
from hanging out here a few years.

Ah, well, to the point, well, see I don't know what this send0r.com thing
is, but I would love to comment on it, if it would be of any help. If you
don't mind, please drop a more detail description of it, and I will give
my 2-Yen worth (a helluva lot less than 2-cents, but its all I got to work
with).

Tootles.

- About form, it would be good let to the "publisher" manage some features:

brief description
links with documentation about the application
some image, logo perhaps
access log

- A send0r client with reload1 support for ps2linux users

- will be there only one send0r client or the open protocol can be included in other applications?

- Private/Public access to applications or other contents

- Multilingual support

- Let feedback from users (surveys, report bugs, etc)
