Thanks Team for Working So Hard in 2006

I would like to thank all the kerjodando / Dargens team for all their hard work during 2006.

I would especially like to thank Vicent the developer (English) who has had to learn Ruby on Rails to be able to code the website. Vicent has also directed the coding /implementation of the website "look and feel".

I also would like to thank Trine, whose day job is being a professional stylist, who has added a new dimension to the team as well as designing Dargens website.

And lastly I would like to thank Gwren who wrote the original client ANts p2p.

During the first quarter of 2007 I would like to finish the website AND update the client (ANts p2p) to make it small, faster and give it a new web/html user interface.

So Happy New Year everyone.

P.S. I found an interesting article about the original ANts p2p client.

Making Some Progress Towards Ruby on Rails Beta Website

The developer Vicent said by email yesterday that,

All the functions have been finished, EXCEPT that:

1.Validation the input
2.Error process
3.Look and feel not in place so site is very ugly
4.RSS feed
5.Ajax(user register,user login)

So please don't pay attention to the ugly page, only look at the functions.

and there are two items in one page(list swarms)

here is the url:
http://211.103.102.214/index/index

To test this page as it is p2p I need alpha testers.

If you can help please email me on ezzy.elliott@gmail.com .

2nd Draft of Look and Feel Still Disappoints

Still not remotely what we asked for but neater and more airy.

Look and Feel Disappointment

Just got the first draft of look and feel from "web designer". Very disappointed. Further drafts can only be an improvement.
