Topic: Question on script hosting for new widgets

Hi,
   just about finished my first widget, which uses a CGI Perl script on the Chumby itself to get information. I know how to submit the widget but wheres the best place to host the script and associated install instructions ? My guess is a forum topic with a URL in the widget description. Is this approporiate ? Are there any issues (forum archiving etc) ?

thanks in advance.

Please advise.

cheers

Nigel

fixed

please note that since this is still a ``proof of concept'' site, we're using a self-signed SSL certificate so you'll have to manually
add the exception for it.
