Over the last while, with the extra attention Haikuware and BeBits has been getting, the server and websites have not been of optimal performance. Over the next month we'll be looking for a dedicated server (at least a dual-core Xeon with a couple gigs of RAM and 10k RPM drives) with unlimited bandwidth. Our current hosts are great, it's just that the websites are served via a modest VPS which restricts the performance under heavy loads. If anyone has any hosting suggestions, leave a comment. In the meantime, a community memeber has offered their help in trying to optimize the system while we make the transition.

*update: we've located a faulty module, and made some performace tweaks. I've noticed a considerable boost in performance, and hope you do too!

Secondly, we're looking to hire a developer to create a new Haikuware and make use of the best and most efficient languages for web design. We are convninced the website shouldn't be a CMS like Joomla or Drupal, but be custom tailored, kind of like BeBits : ) to attain the highest degree of performance and meet our needs - as well as the community. Naturally we'd like to keep the work in the Haiku community, so again, if anyone has any suggestions, please comment. You can also contact us privately by email. Please send your resume/C.V and examples of your work. In return, we'll send a detailed outline and criteria of what we want for bidding.
