I just add secure socket layer to the webserver now. It is now possible to browse the site encrypted.

There is a small caveat about it tho. I'm too broke to buy a proper ssl certificate so the site uses a self signed one. This will cause firefox and I think the new version of IE to throw up a notice/warning about the ssl certificate being self signed.

Here is a short image tutorial on how to accept the ssl certificate for hongfire

Inside will be "Add Exception..." button, click it.

If the the certificate information doesn't come up automatically click on the "Get Certificate" button, otherwise just accept the certificate.

If you want to be sure what the certificate looks like before hand. This is it.

The python tracker that we have been using forwhile is on it's last leg and will be replace. The new tracker (opentracker) will replace the old one, but will take a few hours to get it working properly, so just wait it out.

While it is not in my position to revise the rules, i see no other staff members (save, me) who are most attached to them.

So here's your chance to ask your unanswered questions, violent reactions, suggestions, comments, things that should be adjusted, things that should be revised, things that should be removed, things that should be clarified, anything that you can possibly think of that should make the guidelines in staying in HongFire, clearer compared to before.

This will be my pet project, so feel free to lambast this thread as you see fit. Oh, and while feedbacks will most certainly be entertained, please do not expect to see changes immediately, as in,... just like that.

I'll drop in from time to time to see what's going on so that i can organize my notes.
Ultimately, my ideal is for HF to be less restrictive compared to the current status.
