Go Hub
http://www.gohub.eu/ the european go community site is a website designed for discussions and promotions of European Go. and the European Go Federation
(june 2010): The website is still under development right now, and has not been officially launched.
willemien I registered as user but i still cannot post on the forums. (but maybe it is because i am not a EGF representative) Also wondering why a special forum for discussion about European go why not just at life in 19 x19 maybe a special sub forum.
isd: I suppose I can claim to be an EGF representative, but nobody told me about the forum and I don't really know how to get allowed to post on it.
Herman: Since the user "admin" identified themselves as Catalin Taranu, I suppose this was set up by him? Does it have any official status? According to the site itself: "EGF board decided to start public discussions at gohub.eu. Ask for an EGF account and you can join the discussions before this year's AGM ! For EGF account please register an account called Country_EGF! Admin will give EGF account only to countries registered like that."
isd: I was thinking Csaba Mero set it up. I looked at the EGF website just now. There is a link there on the frontpage covertly advertising this new forum. Why the EGF didn't just email out the forum details I don't know >.>
willemien did ask the life in 19 x 19 to make a forum for EGF questions where everybody (not just EGF representatives, even non-europeans can join in) can discuss EGF points. I think GoHub is a bit misrepresenting itself if it is for EGF representatives only and not for the whole european go community. (btw I don't have any problem that representatives can have special names, or attributes)
isd: I found that they are still working on it, so I updated the page here :)
Csaba Mero: I just found this topic through Google analytics. I started to develop the page last November. (actually it is developed as an exchange: two students are coding and i am giving free lessons in exchange)
fast answers
1, the page is beta and not yet relased for greater public. EGF discussion is for beta testing. The only forum gohub.eu was published is the EGF mailing lists.
2, Getting EGF account you need to register an account called Country_EGF
3, why not lifein19x19: as i see that page is working from april. I simply did not know about the page. EGF topics at gohub.eu is developed specially for the needs of EGF to discuss matters before the Anual General Meeting. It has a special hyerarchy to comment in the forums. Only delegates from national associations may comment EGF topics. It is still an improvment as in the past no discussion of EGF was public at all.
5, There are general topics on gohub too, basic topics anybody can post. And there is a plan to channel requests to EGF. (under development)
6, Very important part of the page is the Tournament Calendar where users requesting an Organizer account may post tournaments. Every info to register a tournament will be included on the page including registration.
