PLWire, PLW Classic, OpenIO
Last week we finally put up Takashi’s PLWire as the main PLW site. It took a bit of Apache twiddling and coaxing to keep everything else held together, but it seems to be working well now. I’m working on a polymorphic acts_as_permalinkable rails plugin that will make it easy to link directly to the uploaded graphics and videos, and Amber is working on an audiotagging system so that people can call into PLWire and attach messages to these resources. Look for these additions over the course of the next month. And of course if you’re feeling nostalgic for the simplicity of the past you can check out ye old PLW Classic.
Also starting up this week is Burak’s OpenIO site, a sort of social and economic network for hardware devices. Later this month Burak will be presenting this work (among other things) at ISEA in San Jose and then Ars Electronica in Austria.
