I've been playing Oolite on and off for about three years now and I've greatly enjoyed a lot of the OXPs this community has created.
I didn't get around to register on this forum until now because my job and my studies have been quite time-consuming in the past couple of years and I didn't see the need to join the community unless I could contribute to the game myself. However, I've now finished my studies and would like to get involved a bit more, aside from playing the game.
I already have a few ideas for OXPs I'd like to work on in the future (one of them being some kind of military expansion, Wing Commander style), but I'll first have to read up on Oolite development of course. I'm a web developer, so I like to think of myself as someone who is at least somewhat competent at coding, but far from what you'd call a "good programmer" or even an expert.
First of all though, I'd like to make an offer. I've read in another thread that the changes in the OXP system in 1.79 will require a different file host (from what I understand, most of you have used box.com until now).
I have 100 GB worth of webspace of which I really only use about 10 at any given time. So I could set up a new domain (I have several unused ones bundled with my web hosting package) like oxphosting.com (or something along the lines) and create separate sub domains (username.oxphosting.com) for everyone who is interested in hosting his OXPs on my webspace.
Since it's a normal webspace, you could of course also set up a little website there to showcase your OXP list (insted of just having a list of files to download).
Let me know what you think it.
