If you have left a comment recently and have had no response, I apologise. The Wordpress moderation features are pretty strict and so comments have been queued in the moderator queue rather than being posted. I hadn’t noticed that there were comments waiting to be approved, so it’s all my fault. Since the comments for a post are switched off after a period of time, I shall be responding to everyone individually.

In my defence, I have been working hard to get this software ready for release. However, this is a poor excuse, and I am sorry.

Just a quick note to say that the site is now accepting registrations. Comments have been enabled for registered users.

Play nice, now.

I now know why the Akismet spam filter that ships with WordPress isn’t working: the SourceForge firewall is somewhat restrictive and blocks all requests originating from the web servers. Should’ve read the setup guide a bit more thoroughly…

Which means I’m looking into alternatives. Should have something up and running by the weekend, at which point I’ll open up the site to registrations (for both of you ).

There are a couple of issues still outstanding with the installation of WordPress onto the SourceForge servers. Specifically, the registration process relies upon email to send out the initial password to newly signed up users, but SF does not allow outbound email from its servers. This means that new registrations will not receive their password. I will fix this soon so that users can register with the site (but it probably means displaying the initial password on-screen during the registration process).
Until this is fixed, the site is closed to new registrations.

Secondly, the Akismet anti-spam plugin is not accepting my WordPress API key, so in order to protect the site from comment spam, comments have been disabled for now. I’ll also be looking into alternatives in order to get the site operational as soon as possible.
