Just so that everyone is aware - I'm currently working on a new version of the tracker. Not to brag, but its looking pretty fracking good (ok, not visually, but the features are amazing.) It will also eventually integrate with other features on the site, such as adding and editing news posts (a longtime request ;-) ) and sitewide account management. I might even try to integrate our sitewide accounts with the forum. In the extreme long term, this might also turn into a way to do content management. Basically, I'm writing myself out of a job here :-D. Ah well -- gives me time to work on interesting stuff, rather than upkeep.
The toughies are going to be finishing this piece and the content management. Given a sufficiently quiet house and a good supply of sugar, adding/editing news can be completed in a couple of days. Now finding days where I can stay up coding until 4 or so... might be a challenge. Perhaps instead of the next LAN party we should have a hackathon with gaming breaks? IE: I'll work on my stuff, you guys will work on yours, break for games when frustrated? It'll be a riotous good time.
Now, off to figure out how graphing broke itself between the last time I worked on it and now.
So very sorry, I couldn't resist bragging...
(also, I think my IDE is confused. Apparently its not really built to deal with having 3 languages in the same file. HTML + PHP + JavaScript = one confused IDE)
