Just recieved a reply from Ev at Obvious:

"We haven't really thought about adding Gravatar support, but I like the idea. Will think about it."

So perhaps there's light at the end of the tunnel!

I've sent off an email to Twitter directly, hopefully hear something soon!

It seems that Twitter guys never answer a request... I've ask several things, by GetSatisfaction or by mail, and I have never had any response...

Total no brainer!

Would it be possible for a Twitter employee to let us know whether this idea could be considered?

A comment on the idea "Gravatar Support?" in Twitter:

Since the <a href="">Gravatar acquisition by Automattic</a> almost a year ago the service has been great - partly due to the PHP rewrite, and the better hosting capabilities of the Wordpress.com framework. – Alex, on August 20, 2008 16:08

You know... they should've thought of this already, shouldn't they have?

Gravatars would be sweet and realy easy to implement and cache.

I like this idea and would love some sort of a voting system to be integrated for new ideas, feature request. That would be cool. Keep up the great work!

I don;t really have an issue with including mod::rewrite overall, although adding of rules will likely be by request.

Absolutely!

I'd be interested to learn how many users we need to support, and what the distribution curve of fileshare usage looks like at the moment. Is it wildly skewed or is everyone using roughly the same?

Looking forward to hearing everyone's opinions on this one!

Magic, thanks!

Wordpress and PHP options

I'm running an instance of wordpress on my Arafel hosted domain. This uses a plugin to provide OpenID support. That plugin would apparently work a lot better if PHP were built with a couple of options enabled:

GMP for mathematical cleverness
libcurl for fetching https:// URLs.

Any chance these could be compiled into PHP on the new Arafel?

I will endeavour to post a list of what I have installed on the new machine currently, and what the implications of turning them all on are sometime this week.

Katekarnage replied on July 29, 2008 15:20 to the question "Do we need diskspace quotas?" in Arafel:

As it stands the new machine is going to have 250GB available to users, although, with the price of disks I am contemplating the idea of grabbing 2 bigger disks and keeping the 300GB disks for myself - 750GB would be the current pricepoint, leaving approx 700gB for users.

graphiclunarkid asked a question in Arafel on July 28, 2008 22:03:

Do we need diskspace quotas?

Does anyone have any strong feelings about implementing quotas? We have limited disk space, and the current incarnation of Arafel has had some problems with this in the past. If we implemented quotas up front that could alleviate the need to badger people to delete mail archives and the like in future, but it might also lead to inefficient use of space, as some users won't use nearly as much as others.

What sort of capacity will the new machine have?
What would be a sensible suggestion for a workable quote scheme?
Would you prefer the free-for-all status quo to be maintained?

I hate spam!

I would love to be rid of spam forever. I'm sure you feel the same. The question is, how do we make that happen on Arafel?

The current incarnation of Arafel runs software called SpamAssassin, however I don't believe it's switched on for new mailboxes by default; where it is working, it's acting piecemeal on individual mailboxes; and it's pretty tricky to configure if you're not a linux ninja (especially if you don't have shell-level access)!

How do we make this better?
