Friday Update
It has been over a week since we launched the Metro Developer site and I wanted thank everyone for their comments and feedback--keep them coming! Here's also an update on some of our issues:
Terms and Conditions
I want to acknowledge the comments developing around our Terms & Conditions on this site and other transit developer sites (yes, I try to keep up with the discussion). I think the terms in question are valid, but would like to hear more before pulling together Metro staff to discuss amending legal language.
Site Bugs
If you haven't noticed, we're utilizing Pinax to run this site, and will be utilizing Django as the framework for our main site, metro.net (which we are rebuilding at this minute). Both platforms are very powerful and full-feature. As a start, we've turned off most of the features and opted for mastering the basic blog and wiki tools. From time-to-time, you'll notice small tweaks to the user interface and functionality--that's just us. I'll ask Doug Goodwin, our back-end developer, to post an entry worthy for you to discuss on this topic.
The Dev site also got a shout-out from Google LatLong -- Google Earth and Maps team's blog.

Hi Lan-Chi,
Please feel free to delete this comment once you read it.Here are some bugs that I think may be present on the site.
1. Not receiving E-mail address verification in my inbox for either e-mail I entered.
2. Cannot edit a post once submitted.
3. Post does not have my name on it. I tried to edit my user account and it did not update. It may be my user-level access rights. (http://developer.metro.net/blog/post/makerman/2009/06/transit-informatics/)Sorry to be a party pooper. The site is looking great.

I can definitely get behind the Django! :)
I'm not getting an email verification either, however.
