Hi,

Thanks,
Phil

Hi Gerald, thank you for the link...
  I decided to try and find the WEB page you referenced below from
beagleboard.org. Not so obvious that way.
The botton lower right corner of the main page "View more Product
Details"
takes us to beagleboard.org/hardware. Then one scrolls down that page
to
"Specifications and Other Resources" and selects the second heading
"Design Materials" then we end up where you short linked us to.
    It may just be me but it seems that material should be a higher
priority
and much easier to find. So whoever cares, I hope you will think about
it.

I agree. We are looking to redesign the site, but it has been up to now a lower priority and a case of no resources. Hopefully we can get it cleaned up soon.

If there are concrete suggestions or patches (the website is available
as a git tree), I'd be happy to apply. Part of the bottleneck is
planning out exactly how the site should look. I'm also trying to get
some graphics that include the xM. I didn't want to put any of those
up until people were really getting boards.

I might try to play with this. What's the incantation for downloading the git tree of the website? You using any Java processing?

I do need to find a new home for my once-public website that came down unceremoniously because I wanted Verizon FiOS but I did not get a fixed IP address. (The sales person thought I would get a fixed IP.)

Thanks

The gitweb is at:
http://www.beagleboard.org/gitweb/?p=beagleboard.org.git;a=summary

‘git clone http://www.beagleboard.org/beagleboard.org.git/’

The site is based on Helma, which is written in Java. Helma apps are
written in JavaScript, using the Rhino JavaScript interpreter. At
some point, I'd like to figure out how to get it cloned onto the
Google Apps Engine, but today it is hosted on a Amazon EC2 instance
running Gentoo Linux.

Did you try dyndns? Still, it won't give you a fixed IP, but at least
your server will be always visible under the same name. I use dyndns
with my fios connection and never had to think whether my router's IP
changes or not.
You will need a static address only if you have to access resources
that are filtered by the client's IP.
