    I think there should definitely be a section on setting up local-infrastructure connections. Most of the content could be generic and then add in sections for SA-specific things. Perhaps a small section from Translate.org.za? :-)

    @morgan and @zerlgi have suggested creating distribution specific installation guides to help new users get up and running. The one suggestion has been that the guides should have two parts: a) initial install and b) addons like flash, mp3, etc. Makes sense to me. Any other ideas?

    There is a problem with the blogs. Since the switchover to the new software they are now showing up. I apologise for that and I am looking into it. If you want to post in the main OpenZA blog in the interim please feel free and let me know if you need help.

    @morgan I’m keen to put up guides on the OpenZA site. I don’t have a lot of time to do it all myself but if you’re keen to collaborate I’m in. Anyone else?

    Hi Johan, Thanks for letting me know. I’ll look into it. I am still ironing out a whole lot of small bugs that appeared after the upgrade.

    In reply to - Johan Mynhardt posted an update: hmm, there seems to be a problem with avatar uploads. It is reported that the file is empty. · View

    Apple sues HTC over patents: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-10462116-94.html?tag=nl.e703
    Sounds like Apple might be getting a little nervous of Android’s success.

    Morgan,

    So far this week it seems to be working relatively well. Last week it was barely usable. It’s a pain and until it’s reliable I am going to have to stick with Dropbox. Much as I would like to use UbuntuOne.
