Some of you may have noticed that Mage Power looks different, but for those of you that didn’t, we have migrated Mage Power successfully to a WordPress install hosted on a dedicated server machine owned by Odin (a long-time Source Mage user). Thanks go to Andraz “ruskie” Levstik (our games grimoire maintainer) for arranging this [...]

Jaka “lynx” Kranjc sent us this helpful bit of information on working with Git and our grimoires, mostly for developers.
I noticed a long drought on magepower, so here are some git tips (mostly) for developers:

Hey there!
I want to draw attention to the Personal Grimoires wiki page, where some of our developers (and users) have listed their personal grimoires. This may prove useful, for instance, if certain spell you want is not in the main

grimoires, but it might be in one of the personal grimoires. Even if the spells are outdated, you will not have to do all the work to create the spells, since they are already written.
Also, for a while now I've been hand-packing a xorg-modular tarball (our official "testing" tarball has not been updated since the grimoire got inserted into a branch for later merging into the main grimoires) and signing them with my personal GPG key (18615F19) for verification. They are all available at here on Simply Sam (my personal blog/website).
Have a sorcerous day! [Less]

Dave Kowis sent this to the SM-Discuss mailing list today. I thought I would post it here as is, because he explains the situation well.

It's that time again! Time to help support the distribution with something tangible. We all greatly appreciate the development work you've done, whether it's filing bugs, coding sorcery, or keeping up with your favorite packages. But now we also need your money ;)
Our Project Lead, Jeremy Blosser, is changing jobs (going to a better one, YAY!) around this time, so it's extremely important that we raise funds to help offset the costs of hosting the server. Those costs amount to approximately $1000 a year. I've set our Fundable goal to $860. The $60 is to cover the Fundable's 7% that they charge. If we can raise more (I'd like to see the full $1000 in there) that'd be even better!
Spread the word! If you know someone that uses Source Mage and likes it, see if you can get them to give just $10. That's $10 closer than we would be otherwise. Put it this way: $10 for the best Linux distribution ever, that's a pretty good deal ;) It's easy, PayPal or Credit Cards are accepted.
