The HPR Static Site
As mentioned in the last Community News episode, the HPR database and
website was moved to a new server, and the static site generator written
by Rho`n was used to generated the non-interactive part of
the website.
Since then, there has been a process of adapting the software to the
new configuration. Unfortunately Rho`n has not been
available during this process, but we are gradually learning our way
around his excellent software and making changes to suit our needs.
If you spot any problems or have ideas for new features, please raise issues on the Gitea repository at: https://repo.anhonesthost.net/rho_n/hpr_generator/issues.
Reserve Queue
A policy change is required in the use of the reserve queue. When there are unfilled slots between 5 and 7 days in the future, episodes in this queue will be used to fill them.
This extra time is required because of the time it can take to process a show and load it to the Internet Archive.
Bram Moolenaar, author of Vim dies
There was an announcement from Bram's family today (2023-08-05) that he died on August 3rd 2023 from a medical problem that worsened recently.
