Git itself does provide some useful       tools for the developers and I like their bug reporting and it's easy to view       the code history.              3.20 has come a long way to help sysops get up and running quickly from when I       and a lot of other sysops started. There was no binkit integration, tickit       lacked some features, there was no automatic setting up of fido and FTN       networks with the init script or installation of doors and dosemu was hit and       miss. That said, there is still quite a learning curve and it's not just plug       and play, you have to understand all the terminology that goes with it, and       can be daunting task for many new sysops.              That said, again, there have been a bunch of new boards popup since I started       so there's people still out there interested in grinding at it. I don't want       it to sound like people have it easier these days...which I guess they do in a       way, no need to find separate mailers and tossers and get them working with       the bbs, but the need for knowledge is still there because you need to know       how they work together and interact with the bbs...sorry, I'm rambling...              ---        þ Synchronet þ End Of The Line BBS - endofthelinebbs.com        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 90/1 102/401 103/1 17 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016       SEEN-BY: 128/187 153/7715 214/22 218/0 1 215 601 700 720 840 860 870       SEEN-BY: 218/880 930 226/30 227/114 229/110 114 206 317 400 426 428       SEEN-BY: 229/470 550 700 705 266/512 280/464 282/1038 291/111 301/1       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 218/700 229/426           |
