[AG-TECH] Community Portal Launched ...

[Darran Edmundson]

Hi All,

The community portal is now living on:

     http://agcentral.org

This is a dedicated machine in the secure confines of the ANU  
Supercomputer
Facility machine room.  For the paltry cost of $18, I couldn't resist  
getting a proper
DNS name - this is most likely short-term, the current plan is to  
eventually run on
accessgrid.org.

The hope is that the community at large can now work together to create
a centralized repository of AG expertise and software.  So how can  
you help?

1) Sign up for an account.

2) Create a FAQ, How-To, or Tutorial on some aspect of the AG.  See the
following for more info: http://agcentral.org/help/how-to/use-help- 
center
Note, a good method of thinking up topics is to trawl the ag-tech  
archives for
common questions and answers.

3) If you are working on 3rd party AG software, login and publish  
your project
on the portal:  http://agcentral.org/downloads.  if you are a node  
operator,
download some software, try it out and offer constructive feedback to  
the
developers.

4) Offer feedback and suggestions for ongoing development of the  
portal.  What
functionality do we want?

Cheers,
Darran.

P.S.  Email to admin at agcentral.org and webmaster at agcentral.org is
currently broken - it should be fixed by Thursday morning.
