Waffles.fm if its open

Hey all I haven't been keeping up on the status of waffles lately but if its open I would greatly appreciate an invite.

I'm a member at ST but many times when I am searching for an album it can not be found there. I am hoping to expand my searching option. :)

Thank you

The site is temporarily overloaded and closed for invites.

Yep, it's closed atm. When they are open they open randomly during throughout the day

Right section actually..

And to me What.CD is better than Waffles. Try to get in there.

I was a member of What when they first opened but after all the security problems I disabled my account.

Are things running smooth at What now? If so I would appreciate an invite back to check it out.

TY again

After these past few months of development, the code on Gazelle is reaching its final stages of completion - only a few pages are left to be written. As such, we've decided to announce our official release date for the alpha - March 5th.

On March 5th, we will allow our VIPs to register accounts and basically try their best to break it. When we're satisfied with the preliminary bulletproofing, we'll transition the entire site to the Gazelle codebase (keeping all of our data, of course), and run the site on a beta version of Gazelle for as long as it takes to iron out all the bugs. When we're satisfied with our progress, we'll release the final version of Gazelle under the AGPL license.

For the time being, we've decided to show you guys a couple screenshots of the page I finished this morning - artist.php. This page is a special little page which shows all the data we have that concerns a particular artist - a wiki article, a list of torrents, requests, tags, statistics, and, of course, similar artists.

Here's an artist page, showing off the Layer Cake stylesheet: http://projectgazelle.org/files/previews/Artists_Layer_Cake.png
And here's the same page, showing off the Anorex stylesheet: http://projectgazelle.org/files/previews/Artists_Anorex.png

The similar artists system is probably the most interesting part of the page - the stats are generated by a script which looks at similarities in users' snatches, and refined by users voting a similarity up or down. The tags are interesting as well - they're composed of tags on the artists' torrents, which can be voted up and down by users.

Of course, the entire artist page is cached as well - which means that it's possible to load it without touching our database.

Hang in there for a couple more weeks, guys. Gazelle is on its way. :)
