The Starry Expanse Project

If anybody attempted to access the site last night and found a Dreamhost placeholder instead of us, we sincerely apologize. There was some restructuring of files done on the server, and it temporarily killed the site. Everything should be back up and running now, though. 🙂

As you probably know by now, we publicly unveiled the project to Mysterium. If you were unable to attend Mysterium, you can watch the presentation here:

The presentation slides can be seen here:

And the video I played:

Enjoy!

If you saw the presentation at Mysterium, you might have been disappointed to hear that beta signup was closed. Good news: it’s not! 🙂 Bad news: the server is down, so until it’s back up, you can send your name and email to cho102997@gmail.com with the subject “Beta” and we’ll notify you as soon as signup is back online (we’ll post here as well)!

UPDATE: We’re actually going to kill the beta signup client; it’s creating more problems than it solves. Expect an online signup form soon 🙂

For those of you who haven’t seen, we’ve started another twitter feed that displays SVN commit summaries at @SECommits.

Well, we kind of hoped that allowing beta signups to go through only for a limited time would raise hype and that people would sign up for beta like, as soon as they could.

Turns out that wasn’t the case. Despite our weirdly gigantic spikes in unique visitor counts each time we posted something containing the word “beta,” we only got around ten beta testing applications.

So! We’ve decided to re-open the beta test signup process until we get more beta signups than we know what to do with (note: this doesn’t mean we won’t be checking for quality in your application). At our previous rate of beta signup, that would’ve happened around year 2121, so let’s hope we get some more signups quicker this time. 😉 Beta is officially open again!

Here is the signup page. If you find out who we are (not that hard) please don’t tell anyone. Thanks!
