Oops sorry, somehow old content was loaded on editor. Wanted to give some updates, I made a lot of progress, and I think I'm very close to opening the site. All major problems have been addressed and I have the workflow ready. Automated the export of data (just not on cron yet, but the code exports it daily to https://openscans.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/db/openscans.zip I just dumped new data there (old link was broken sorry) I'm now working on having proper DNS and the demo site (I setup a backup cluster for the data to open a demo) and finally get some basic help page with the many keyboard shortcuts I used to make tagging of the magazines as quick as humane possible In between coding I have also indexed May/June 1991 Confident I'll have a website to share with interested folks by early Jan. Happy Holidays

That makes sense. But the last issue of Nintendo Power came out on December 11th, 2012 (2012-12-11), didn't it? If my calculations aren't wrong the 10 year anniversary was a few days ago, wasn't it?

Hi folks, really glad you enjoyed, gotta start working on this to be ready for prime time So here's a link for the current database export (this uses a mongo db cloud atlas, so everything is a huge json) https://openscans.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/db/GamaMagazineExport.zip Here's what I need to finish before getting this opened up for collaboration Automate the db export data Fix some login issues Provide minimum error handling for users (right now if something goes wrong I know where to look in the logs, not friendly) Get a basic magazine viewer in place (goal is to use the Internet Archive amazing book reader https://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/bookreader, but that will take time to integrate, need a step stone solution in between) Craft the approval workflow (once a user completes a review, an admin needs to approve) Get the demo site up and running (I want a demo site for people to try and play, data will be purged daily and restored to latest backup from the main site) I believe most of those if not all should be completed in the next 2-3 weeks, I will then keep you posted and start handling some users for the demo site, we can then start working on the main site to curate the data. Like I said before, what we do with this data is really up for grabs, not sure how much work would needed to integrate here, but once we have the data, everything else becomes easy, we just need to present it on a relevant manner. Looking forward for more collaboration

Nope. Gonna close out the 10th anniversary of the magazine ending with the final issue instead.

Nintendo Power Issue 285 is scanned, coming soon!
