[v6test] 2008-03-12 status update

[Kevin - Your.Org]

Another quick status update:

The last few steps have been coming a little more slowly than I had  
expected, but no additional tasks have been added to the "to-do list".  
The end is in sight!

Our last crossconnects are in, we're just waiting for a few ports to  
be turned up and our bandwidth needs are completely met.

We're probably going to end up with much more in the way of video  
content (both clean and X rated) than I had originally planned. More  
will be put up initially, and I'll probably end up rotating what's  
there to encourage repeat visitors during the test. The total amount  
of content will be above 50GB at least, probably much higher when you  
take into account multiple bitrate versions being available. Getting  
the content is taking quite a bit longer than expected though, so  
thats one of the primary holdups.


If you represent a hosting company, or end-user (DSL/cable/whatever)  
ISP and you really honestly are ready to sell v6 services RIGHT NOW,  
drop me a note off-list to make sure I've got you added to our  
documentation. I'm focusing primarily on end-user/residential  
providers right now, since I believe that's going to be the vast  
majority of our target audience.


If you represent a media company or are a journalist of some type and  
are interested in doing a story on this project: Contact me off list  
for our unofficial media kit and early access to the websites.


If you're a self-proclaimed v6 expert, especially when it comes to  
Windows installations and are feeling helpful: We'll have a "help each  
other" kind of web discussion forum. If you're interested in helping  
or moderating, send me an email and I'll get you in and involved  
before we start.
