EVE-Central Revival Project
Hi everyone!
Remember EVE-Central? The tool that first launched when you exported market data using the “Export to File” button, but has been chugging along (mostly) reliably since those dark days?
Well, I am “bringing back the fire” to the project, and upping my contribution. EVE-Central is still an invaluable resource in the EVE economic arena, but it can be so much better.
Currently, the following projects are under way:
Facelift: There is some advantage from moving from Web 1.0 to the future, and that is a better UI experience (also, accepting contributions for Logo redesign)
Contribtastic improvements: This program has been long neglected, and while a large number of you use it successfully, it needs some serious refinement. Streamlining, adding first class Mac support, supporting multiple clients, historical data, and more. We are also working on a unified uploader format to help interoperability.
Core technology: The uploader acceptance system is getting an overhaul, in the name of better statistics and error rejection. After that we will start overhauling user state and sessions.
New features: Hangar sells, API integration, and more.
Great news!

Well, that’s good news. Of late, the site hasn’t had much useful market info. I went to the newest version of the old Contribtastic and it scanned and scanned, and uploaded nothing. I run multiple clients, in multiple regions and they’d be likely able to pump out some useful cache data, but the uploader couldn’t din the cache, it said, and when I asked what the cache folder it was (based on my O/S), I was given a directory name that didn’t even exist. After that, my emails were disregarded. I’m looking forward to helping out with cache data. Hopefully teh uploader will look forward to it too.
