yes, the repo site is currently down due to an electrical fault. Unfortunately, we do not have an alternative site. I would expect the site to be back up later today (European time) or tomorrow.

I have checked out the source code in previous weeks with no problems whatsoever.

Is there a alternative repo site??

Cheers

thanks for your comments. Let me address them:

1) Authentication Yes, it would be possible, but having experimented with it I chose not to implement it as it seemed to contradict the point of a shared environment. I’m waiting to be convinced of the argument for using a ‘personalised’ service in a shared space for other users to use. There’s some issues here about privacy and security. So, for example, who would be able to change the search terms? Just me or other users in my group? Would everyone be able to see the object, and so on. I think it’s more likely that such a personalised service would appear just to the user concerned, perhaps in their HUD.

2) It’s a query per pigeon (perhaps the pigeons need a way of having their appearance changed to distinguish between multiple pigeons?)

I imagine it should be fairly easy to allow authentication and make the pigeon an embodiment of “my” twitter? (I mean, so each person can have his own twitter pigeon – it may even follow my avatar) and bringing me the tweets I follow? (this is with no relation to +Spaces).

For +Spaces, a question: can we have just one search query at a time? or a query per pigeon? (say I want to follow several twitter polls, can I do that?)
