staff blogs

distributed.net staff keep (relatively) up-to-date logs of their activities in .plan files. These were traditionally available via finger, but we've put them on the web for easier consumption.

Preliminary teamjoining is finally enabled. It’s not pretty, and it’s
not the easiest thing to use, but it’s there and it’s functional.

http://stats.distributed.net/pjointeam.php3?team=0

(Please replace the 0 with the team number of your desired team)

This will require that you have your email address and your stats password
handy. What’s especially nice about this way of handling it is that
teams can now place this url on their home pages for a nice “Click here
to join our team” button.

Note that the old style of:

http://stats.distributed.net/pjointeam.php3?team=0&id=1&pass=password

will still work.

Nitehawk will be adding links to all team summary pages that will allow
one-click joins from any team summary page.

My next step is to integrate the team join page from the pedit.php3
Participant Edit pages and develop a simple team browser tool.

As always, please let me know if you encounter any problems.
