Crazy Engineers Project List

Here's a list of all CE projects that we have discussed and undertaking. To contribute and participate, click on the project title!

Active projects
CE Bot - Semi autonomous rover, collects data. Progress: Research

CE: IM - A messaging client. Progress: Initial discussions

Project WWWP - Worlds Widest Web Page! Progress: Stagnant

CE IE/Firefox plugin - We managed to have good progress in this one! Click HERE for the code. Progress: Stagnant, but 1st version is complete

Great CE Documentation project - Guide for new CEans Progress: Initial discussions

Non technical projects

CE song - Our very own engineering song! Click to contribute lyrics and tunes Progress: Compiling Lyrics

Still in the works
CE Toolbar. I think we had a discussion on this in relation with the CE Plugin.

CE Browser. Big K has mentioned this once.. which I think follows naturally if we manage to sucessfully complete the above projects, haha.

Possible future projects
CE Linux. Very unlikely though, no response at all!

I have a small suggestion in that we can list all CE projects that we planned (or briefly mentioned) to do in one thread and sticky it, so its visible all the time. Big K, im sure you have a solution planned, but I'll just contribute a bit here

CE Messenger. Probably the more mature of all our projects in terms of the length of discussions. Check here and here to check it out and contribute.

CE IE/Firefox plugin. We managed to have good progress in this one!
Check it out here.

CE Robot. Just mentioned recently, hopefully we can start a thread on this soon.

There might be more, but I cant remember at the moment!

We were very small when we started discussing about CE Projects. Now that we are bigger in numbers, I think we can start with a 'small' project (let's say a plugin or something).

Yep, and we can also simulateously run another small project with it so many CEans can get involved I really think we should resurrect the CE Messenger again.

I'd say we should work on the project WWWP - Look here - http://www.crazyengineers.com/forum/...ject-wwwp.html

There are couple of reasons I think we should 'start' with this project -

1. We'll need 1-2 CEans who'll build up a system that will dynamically update the width of our page. Not a big task for CEans. Can be easily implemented.
2. Sense of participation - we all will participate in making it the world's widest web page.
3. Sense of achievement : We'll be doing something that has not been done before and it will also help us gaining some popularity.

What do you say? Am I 'crazy' enough?

Interesting What kind of "content" would we put to make it wide? Im guessing if we had a "game" like the word games we have and link the answers together.. or something like that.

[The_Big_K]

That's a good question. But I'm not sure how many of you like the idea of creating world's widest web page

We can use anything to widen our web page. Any random ideas?

Maybe members can submit their photos? Perhaps of their university, workplace, city, car, pets etc. Or even photoshopped stuff. In general, user generated stuff if possible. We can make a photo wall!

Will be too heavy to load, don't you think so?

How about simple text with each crazy engineer's name and discipline?

[ash]

Ah crap, forgot about that :P

Hm.. we are close to 9000 members. That might work.. lol

Biggie, can we sticky this thread? Pretty pleaaase

As for CE Linux!

We can use DSL (Damn Small Linux) as a base or the Knoppix as a base. it will be pretty exciting compiling our own list of OSS in the "CEnux" Linux distribution!

Hi CEans, shall we start a project on developing a mail or messenger for LAN connections. If there is already one of its kind, let me know.

Ah, we could adapt the CE:IM project for LAN connections!

What do you think? Head over to the thread here:
CEdoot - Reincarnation of CE-im
