What is it about this Monochrome BBS that is so appealing? I have to say right now that I just don't have the bandwidth to tackle another client project right now. But if the people who run Monochrome were to commit to switching to Citadel Server if we could duplicate their beloved UI, I might be convinced...

For me it has been the ease of use, it just all gels. But for the userbase it is a community, and most of them went to university in the UK in the 90's before the web came into being - so it was all cutting edge then, (it's not so UK-centric now though) and alot of them still meet up (the London ones anyhow) and have a few beers etc.. 

 

I wasn't making a request for a new client IG. If those guys did see citserver as a good fit, base for/backend to a new version monoBBS, they could make a start. I am glad it  seems citserver has the possibility to be used this way. :)

It's more or less a universal communications server at this point; the back end is generalized enough that any type of client can be put in front of it and configured enough of this it's too early for tech pour me a drink and light a cigar already.

Decisions.... for 9pm!

A bit of a 9pm nightcap for optimal enjoyment of the evening?

Hopefully 9pm.  Midnight is a bit to late to start.  Hate work sometimes.

I've forwarded a message to  handful of people on the MonochromeBBS recomending using citserver as a base for maybe a new BBS (an open source BBS) so the right people should be having a look at citadel soon i hope. It's obviously up to those guys to decide, it would be great if it is of use to their plans for the future. 

Fingers crossed.

Looks like the monochromeBBS people will write a new BBS from scratch, if it ever happens. Some of them have already written alot of code as 'proofs of concept' and such like.

 

I just came across a wordpress blog from a germany company using citadel as partof their comms system. They were using KDE Kontact funambol etc..  It's good to see people using your project in various ways. But! Where is the links to people like that or a page with some case-studies (along  with the people using citadel on stuff like raspperry Pi's, and peopleusing citadel at home for their family and friends communication needs etc ) ?

:)

I have used Citadel at home for years.  Simple set-up (easy-install).

My family has Citadel under my domain name as a fall-back when "other" services fail.  Cheap to run when you do it via a cheap VPS.  Glad it is there.

Hit the road jack.

A bottle labeled "Jack Daniels Mobile Edition" is produced from behind the bar.

Who wants to try it? I hear it's full of 4G and megapixels.

one of those cracking?

seems Germany is not that much ahead of the US in that hitlist...

around here in Cologne they stretched the service intervals of bridges all to their outer limits, so that all of them are ready for surgery around.... NOW.

and, the only bridge which isn't undergoing construction works ends in a tunnel that is.

One steel highway bridge in the north of cologne is being patched from within, and doesn't have allowance for trucks anymore... so they have to drive 20 extra miles...
