A link to "Glass Elevator" site

1

Hi all -

"Glass Elevator" (the "ideas site" for Haiku R2 and beyond) is mentioned now and then in these forums. However, there is no direct link to it from this page (or from the "main" haiku-os.org page).

So, I was thinking it’d be quite useful (and easy to do) to include a link to it. Saves people having to Google for it … Comments?

( Btw - here’s the “Glass Elevator” site ) -

Yet another reason to have the website all synced up :cry:
About two months back, the contents of the Glass Elevator wiki was moved to the Haiku Wiki! http://www.haiku-os.org/wiki/index.php?title=Glass_Elevator
You’ll find all of the articles there, including additonal comments, edits, etc.

They have also been copied onto the new website, as part of the "RFC" sections; but i’m not sure that they’ll be staying there (might stay on the Wiki), with regards to the recent talk on the mailing list about separating official and user contributed works.

They will definitely stay there. The new website is the official place for Glass Elevator. I talked with Michael about GE and it might be a "dead" project of which only the mailing list is left. All GE articles will be part of our website. Why do you think the RFCs are not official enough? Every RFC gets a note about possibly being "unofficial" (see the website tutorial, it’s accessible from all important locations, now). Apart from that, everything should be part of our website, so our developers can evaluate and review those articles. I don’t intend to separate user contributed work from developer-contributed work. I want to separate rants from important articles. That’s all.

Great! Sounds good - thanks very much for this :slight_smile:

Seems like the Glass Elevator content is not easily accessible or just gone the way of the haiku wiki pages. The RFC index page has nothing has nothing listed. One can use the sites search feature to find some of the GE stuff, but who knows if that is all of it.
