Question

Ok, so I have a question. Is this site seriously getting fixed when it says "Making changes....etc"? Because I see no difference what-so-ever.

Answer 1

No that's just the default age for when the server is offline, sometimes its true but this time it was just technical failures.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Technical failures? Well then I guess there's a lot of them because this happens every other day... or multiple times a day..

Answer 4

there is no engineer currently working

Answer 5

the site was having an overload due to exams (this comes straight from preetha)

Answer 6

Also OS is already having an overload because the code itself is made for a certain amount of users but it's being overloaded and the servers are brought to their knees

Answer 7

eh, it just needs a good redo, fresh start.

Answer 9

Thats explains it all

Answer 10

yes it is, like i said in that post we need to assemble a team of coders, designers, and BETA testers so we can make a new OS

Answer 11

JAi, such a cool idea. I am game!

Answer 12

nono im pretty sure you can transfer the accounts over, my main concern is the design, stability, and UI

Answer 13

well OS has 3 engineers and I don't think they are on right now :

Answer 14

Well they were on all those other times and it's a disappointment when I couldn't get on OS because "changes were being made..." when technically they were not. Just stating the obvious.

Answer 15

Ah yes but that was a critical fix that was needed, a new OS would take a long time with only 3 people, and designers are also needed.

Answer 16

xD well we should actually, we should put up a banner calling all coders, designers, and helpers to come on over and help @Preetha what do you think?

Answer 17

So tell me what you can help with Eco? What skills do you have? Scala? EC2? MongoDB?

Answer 18

There is nothing I can do about this problem since technically I'm not a engineer.

Answer 19

So to really help, I need coders who can code in Scala, who know how to deal with EC2 servers, who know MongoDB, who know the latest technologies in ours system.

Answer 20

Well I have to go but I will make sure to start prepping up on mongoDB to help out and get that flyer done :)

Answer 21

I agree @Preetha. Thanks for everyone's input. I appreciate it. It cleared it up a bit. So thanks you to @JA1 and @Preetha !! :)

Answer 22

ah ok so Scala okeydokey will do

Answer 23

I could help if i didn't drop out of my informatics bachelor :C Biology/Chemistry FTW!
Designer or Bèta-tester will do though.

Answer 24

I would love to try to help in any way possible. I'm esp. quite good in JavaScript/jQuery and CSS/design-related stuff.

Answer 25

Well im pretty sure the client side is javascript, so maybe you can help with that.
