A new site!

Welcome to the new-look for The Major BBS Restoration Project. We've received, courtesy of the excellent folks at Atlassian, a community license to the best wiki-based social computing platform - Confluence.

This platform will let YOU - the former BBS user, or former Sysop, or former ISV, or former developer, Galacticomm employee, current user, etc. - contribute to the project. YOU can help us complete information that we're missing. YOU can help us correct information that we have wrong. YOU can upload us files that we're missing, scans of documents we don't have, and more. This allows this project to go from being the work of a few people to the work of many people.

Over time, once we get as much cataloged as we can, I'd like to see us work together to advance the platform for the hobbyists. More open source software, more options for it to work with modern operating systems. We can use this platform for those efforts, too.

So, take a look around. We'd like your feedback on the look, the structure, etc. You have to be a validated user to edit content in the Galacticomm, ISV, and BBS sections. But you can discuss it immediately on the project forums.

We started putting the information that you see here in last year, and finished up over the last few weeks. A few upgrades and restarts along the way, but we're setup and ready to go. Over the next few weeks we'll have more tips and tricks online to help you on your way. There already are some page templates we want you to use for certain types of topics - keep an eye out. And take a look at the Demonstration Space for a tutorial on what you can do here.

Thank you all for your continued interest and support!
