Dear all,
After a few discussions I had with some key people during the last months (e.g.,
@DarkOne,
@SiD,
@CS and
@Zemke), I/we come up with the idea that WO should be brought to life again.
So far, this is what remains of the main website we used to be familiar with:
https://web.archive.org/web/20221121201207/http://wormolympics.com/Unfortunately, it seems there is no way (for the time being) to take control over the website which (in addition) is offline due to domain’s expiration: no source code, no admin rights, etc.
After a quick discussion with
@Florian Zemke (who
kindly offered himself as a full-stack developer), a good option seemed to be the development of a new web application (probably with a fresh and more attractive layout). Of course, we should first make sure that the original WO can really not be salvaged.
Another point for the discussion is related to the back-end logic of the old application which includes the tournament system (e.g., points, patterns, etc.). A few questions arise: Should this be kept as it was? Should it be updated?
Considering all these bullet points, it would be nice to have as many
opinions/considerations/feedback/information as possible from you all, as end-users and as people who potentially were (partially/fully) in charge of the old web application.
Bests,
