Revision as of 17:23, 27 March 2020

The BOARD18 project currently supports only one BOARD18 web site for general use.
In addition we provide the means for others to create board18 web sites of their own.
We would be happy to maintain a list of such other public sites, but we currently know of none.

I have just started the process of revamping the set of BOARD18 web sites that will be supported in the future.
The first step in the process is the creation of the prod1.board18.org site.
The next step will be the deprecation[1] of the dev2.board18.org site.

  1. This is a recommendation that the site no longer be used and a warning that the site will be removed at a future date.

The New Production Site

prod1.board18.org is the new BOARD18 production site.
This site will always run the latest release of BOARD18.
This implies that it will support all of the latest features.

The Interim Production Site

dev2.board18.org is the BOARD18 Interim Production site.

This site will soon be deprecated. Use the new production site for all new games.
