Amazon Web Services Free Tier

Sat, 12 Mar 2011 10:33:19 +0000

Hello everyone,

I just read that recently, Amazon Web Services started a free usage tier allowing:

AWS Free Usage Tier (Per Month): * 750 hours of Amazon EC2 Linux Micro Instance usage (613 MB of memory and 32-bit and 64-bit platform support) – enough hours to run continuously each month* * 750 hours of an Elastic Load Balancer plus 15 GB data processing* * 10 GB of Amazon Elastic Block Storage, plus 1 million I/Os, 1 GB of snapshot storage, 10,000 snapshot Get Requests and 1,000 snapshot Put Requests* * 5 GB of Amazon S3 storage, 20,000 Get Requests, and 2,000 Put Requests* * 30 GB per of internet data transfer (15 GB of data transfer “in” and 15 GB of data transfer “out” across all services except Amazon CloudFront)* * 25 Amazon SimpleDB Machine Hours and 1 GB of Storage** * 100,000 Requests of Amazon Simple Queue Service** * 100,000 Requests, 100,000 HTTP notifications and 1,000 email notifications for Amazon Simple Notification Service** * 10 Amazon Cloudwatch alarms** * In addition to these services, the AWS Management Console is available at no charge to help you build and manage your application on AWS.

I can not test this myself because I don't have a credit card. However, I believe you could run Wikidot Open Source on an EC2 instance (which is free for one year under this tier).

Does anyone want to try it out?

Status of project

Greeting everyone,

I've been asked to check on the status of the Wikidot project that you announced in August (new version based on current wikidot.com).

Do you have any type of (very) rough timeframe?

Thanks in advance.

Karma

The Karma FAQ on the main site says that guidelines for calculating karma are including with the open source package, but I haven't found them. Were they written or am I not looking in the right place?

Browsable SVN Site Down?

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 17:49:15 +0000

Is the browsable SVN repository down for good? http://svn.wikidot.org/svn

For about a week I've been getting:

Service Temporarily Unavailable

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at svn.wikidot.org Port 80

The other link to the files works fine (http://svn.wikidot.org/repos), but I like the browsable link to try and stay on top of what was changed from revision to revision.

Thanks,
Ed

Recent Flood Of Updates

Thu, 07 Aug 2008 03:54:00 +0000

First, i want to say "Hat's off" to Michal and the other developers for the unbelievable pace of updates to the Wikidot 1 repository. The bugs fixes and enhancements are fantastic and the pace at which you're getting this done is nothing sort of miraculous!

That being said, I am a bit disappointed that the documentation of these changes is not keeping pace. The comments attached to the SVN repository just whet my appetite on many of the changes without telling me how to implement some of them (i.e PageCalendar, NewPage auto increments, theme previewer, title templates, etc.)

Is anyone working on the documentation side of things so that we can start playing with all of the nice improvements that are being made? Am I not looking in the right place for this information?

Thanks again for all you are doing. I am one of Wikidot's biggest cheerleaders! ;)
