QRIG2 is now up and running !!!

Its been a good few months, however most of the work was done in the last 2 weeks … err, until I accidentally deleted the database last night taking all the work with it. After having a stiff drink, I did about 2 weeks work in 5 hours (up until 3am this morning) to get it to where it is now.

The following sections are now available –

Community – About Us, QRIG Charter, Donations

Motive Power – Now sorted by Gauge, then Operator … I have some ideas up my sleeve for this section – including the Locomotive Logs. I’m still transferring these from the old site.

Lineside Histories – Peter is still working hard on this section, I still have to transfer all the documents over from storage – should take another day or so.

Safeworking – Currently has the Train Numbering Guide and Directional Running, however it will grow in future for those interested in working on it.

Search – Yes, a Search facility that works … catalogues the whole site

IRC – The client is still available and will automatically use your username as per the old site

Forum – Still working out what to do with the forum, I have setup 3 forums specific to talking about the website, yahoogroup and gallery.

Events – Upcoming events, I’ll spend some time sifting through a number of websites putting upcoming events in the system.

On This Day – Yes, its back and it is searchable finally J

Now you might ask, how do I log in, do I have to register again … the answer is no, if you are a member of the Gallery, just use the username you use there.

The big thing I’m pushing with QRIG2 is user interactivity … you guys have the power to add things to the site … initially it’s the News Only section, but there will be special titles bandied around for people interested (ie. Author, Editor, Publisher). I will explain the difference between them in a future Frequently Asked Questions section.

Another feature that will be implemented is an Enthusiasts guide to Qld – this will mainly cover field information such as Safety, Security, Scanner Frequencies, etc.  Also I hope to cover the future QR Photography Policy once it is finally released.

What can I say now … but enjoy … http://www.qrig.org/
