Radiance Website

Hi Everyone,
   The RADSITE page <http://radiance-online.lbl.gov:82/download-install/download-radiance>under development Andy sent us a link to looks promising. Can it also point to or store to helpful downloads like NRELs system or Zack's IES Gensky?
   Zack I just went to the SPOT website, downloaded version 4.2 and did not see its source files, including the python gensky file-- I think this will be very helpful for the community right now and/or as guidance for updating Radiance's gensky?
   Are there other plans or ideas for a Radiance website?
   Thanks,
- Dan

Hey Dan,

I think Andy said he planned to offer links to the NREL stuff, no reason why he couldn't offer up links to other projects like Daysim, Thomas' stuff, Aksel's stuff, Zack's stuff, and other stuff. The site is very much a labor of love, and is totally unfunded; Andy's been doing this work largely on his own dime. AFAIK, it's still the only planned centralized Radiance site. It'd be nice if it were implemented in something like Drupal, which would make it easy for collaboration on the site's content but I'm not sure how that would work with LBL. I know here at NREL that becomes a headache (managing collaboration with outside sources), which is why I wouldn't offer taking up such a project! I'm happy to say that it looks like we will receive funding to continue to maintain the Radiance binary offerings we do have, at least through FY13. =8-)

Hi Rob -

well I don't know if you got the announcement emails awhile back

http://www.radiance-online.org/pipermail/radiance-general/2012-March/008454.html

but it is very much setup to support collaborative authoring as it is considered a community site with designated moderators - so we are encouraging contributions :wink:

I guess all that needs to be done on my side is to make the site default instead of the legacy site which will perhaps force us to make the information more presentable...

Other than that its "ready to go"

D'oh, you're right Danny, sorry I forgot about your post. That's great! I
unfortunately can't view the site from work in its current state because
that port is blocked by NREL's firewall. Maybe when Andy gets back from
vacation we can talk about how the community can help. ?

In the meantime folks can check out the tips page (I just revised it...)

http://radiance-online.lbl.gov:82/community/plone-tips/plone-notes.html

and see if they can login and create a few pages in their home dir...

Hi Dan, in the latest SPOT v4.2 release I compiled all the python code to
avoid issues installing Python and version compatibility. You can download
the old SPOT v4.0 which still includes all python source code here:

http://www.archenergy.com/SPOT/_download-SPOT_v4.0.html

Soon, all this will be hosted on a different site - I will post when that
happens.

Cheers,
Zack

I've been planning to make the switch to the new site after bringing the
rest of the workshop content over to the new site. But really we can make
the switch whenever we want, so if it'll help to get others involved, I'd
think we can make the switch this week.

Dear Zack,
   Thank you for posting a link to SPOT version 4 with its source files. I was able to download and read them.
   I look forward to seeing its new home!
