Ten years later, @spacelog remains one of the things I’m most proud of having been involved in. An amazing group of people, and a wonderful, perfect product.

Ten years ago, thirteen of us holed up in a fort on Alderney and built spacelog.org/ -- still live today for some of your crewed spaceflight information needs.

Mind you, twelve years ago, twelve of us had holed up in the same fort and built Wildlife Near You, which sadly isn't still live today. That was the first fort, and we were making it up as we went along.

“a great facility [with a] mansion where the band lives during the recordings. This makes everything more efficient.” Sounds like @devfort!

@richardjpope @handee Wikipedia dumps are possible to get running but fiddly. We have scripts to mirror lots but not very selectively.

Basically, what @cackhanded said. Also I'm pretty excited about this @devfort project - it's something I've wanted to build for a while.
