Project32 is almost ready to go on Air!

Posted by Admin On January - 3 - 2010ADD COMMENTS

Hi all,

1st of all let me introduce Project32, what is Project32?

Project32 is a forum based board where i will publish my scripts written in bash, PHP etc including some stuff related to database, javascript, CSS etc etc. Also will include Linux administration, web hosting tips. Apart from all these, Project32 is open to all to post/reply to any thread. Users are free to open new threads and post any sort of material they think is useful for other members. There are some useful forums available at the moment. Which can be enhanced upon the growth of the board community.

For the time being, there are limited forums offered in the board. There are plans in future to add more but that will depend on  growth of the community and demands.

Since yesterday i am working hard on it to configure the system and make it ready as soon as i can. Till now, most of the system basic configuration is managed, need a bit tweaking of the graphics on some areas. Which will not take much of my time. In the board two forums are read only, which are for moderators and administrators to administrate.

So stay tuned for the latest updates, I will post the board URL soon here. And hope every body will participate in it and join the community.

keep in touch!

Arif
