Re: The History of ToriOS Websites

 

Hi,

Note: I skipped some long replies (emails) so that I can reply these
whenever I have time. I'm in hurry so can't get into the details these
replies/emails have suggested.

torios.net is owned by someone I'm not interested to deal with any more,
period. I have informed Israel about the reason and we should NOT waste our
time to discuss about this issue.

Why then I'm mentioning it here?
Because we want to close this once and for all.

torios.top is the NEW domain and that's the one and only domain that will
be the official one for ToriOS and yes, it's owned by me.

As for GitHub, I have zero knowledge and have no idea how to use it or what
for?
I'm not a coder so :)

If ANYONE is 100% READY to work on that, why not? but may I remind you that
time is our worst enemy and we're so much behind?

Will I/We still be able to use WordPress? are we having a cPanel?!

WHO and I mean "WHO" is going to develop AND maintain the website?!

So, before we share our thoughts, we must be fully prepared ;)

Let me know, please so I can decide what is the best for ToriOS.

I don't want to waste more time ..
