I'm launching a startup web site, what i would like to know is how to start with that, i mean is better to use invitations first of all?
Then how to send invitations and to who?
How can i plan invitations? Which are best practices?
Does anyone is passed from this step with his own site?
Any experience on here?
thanks
Whether you create a beta version of the site first is completely up to you.
It really depends what type of website you're planning to make. Beta's are obviously a good way to gain feedback on your website and its functionality before releasing to everyone. Thus, allowing you to make improvements/fix bugs before everyone uses the site.
In terms of actually getting users for the beta, it's very much a case of marketing your website and its existence well (through social media, advertising etc.), and then providing some kind of 'sign up for the beta' page. You could then close registration for the beta once you have enough users, and devise some method of gaining feedback from users.
I haven't personally created a beta myself, but if I was to do it, I would do the above.
Hope that's of some help.

Coming from a more traditional web frameworks like Django and a little bit Rails, I am a bit confused about what is the best to register new user in your couchdb backed web app. The registration process should include sending an e-mail with an activation link.
Can this be handled in couchdb completely? Or do I just write a little bit of code in my web app layer as I did before?
Any link or short explanation is highly appreciated.
CouchDB has a basic authentication system that allows you to create users, manager their roles and permissions.
Although, you'll probably need to add a certain logic in your application layer to support some of the basic feature of an authentication system.
For example, you would have to add some code to support password recovery.
Also, it supports Cookie authentication but you can't revoke cookies from a user(If that's an issue for you, don't use CouchDB's auth system)

I know that this is no technical question, but since someone has posted a similar question here I thought it should be ok.
What I want to do is to measure the user experience of any website. Ideally, I would like to use some type of algorithm to get a number with a corresponding metric to evaluate the user experience.
I can think of some type of heuristics, e.g. if user gets a 404-error, the user experience is very low. On the other hand, if he or she buys something in an online store, the user experience is high. Of course this would not work if the page is e.g. a news page.
Does anyone of you know how I could calculate the user experience for websites?
Thanks in advance,
enne
What I understand from your question is that you want to measure the user experience based on technical terms, i.e.: number of views for a specific page, number of error pages showed to users, how many times a link has been clicked, what locations the users come from all over the world, and so on.
So, I think you are asking about website analytics, which you custom to do measurements for whatever you want, as famous examples for those tools:
Splunk
Google Analytics
Open Web Analytics (open source)
Please let me know if I answered your question.

Let's say I am selling some PHP scripts, developed from scratch by me, and also some Flash games, also developed from scratch by me.
I sold the flash games and PHP scripts to some clients, and to some of them I even sold them with source codes.
Now if one customer will sell the code to someone else without my approval, and that someone else, the 3rd person would claim that the code belongs to him, what can be done?
Can PHP scripts or codes be signed online or something like that?
When you sold to clients, does the contract stipulate that they are forbidden to sell it ? Also more importantly does the contract also specify that the client must not modify in anyway the source code and then sell it ?
Today, the best way to protect your I.P. is to use a lawyer and yes, this is a sad thing.
You're trying to solve a social problem by technological means. This won't work.
If someone does that to you, you should get a lawyer and sue him.

I am investigating the feasibility of setting up a discussion forum / message board in my company to enable knowledge sharing etc.
What are the steps involved in implementing such a solution?
I would definitely recommend a Wiki - we've used Mindtouch internally for a number of years and have also posted all of our documentation externally on a wiki.
The steps will depend on what technology you already have in place and what kind of shop you are. If you have SharePoint (WSS 3.0 or MOSS 2007), then you already have blog, wiki and discussion group functionality built in. Not the best in the world, but it's there.
A shop that uses more open source tools is less likely to find SharePoint compelling. ;-)
Instead of (or maybe in addition to) a discussion forum, I would recommend a wiki server. This way you can have different howtos, lists, documentation, etc available and the important things will tend to stay up to date. We have one in our department and it is quite useful (if only people would log in when editing...).
I was not involved in setting it up, so I cannot give any details on that, but it is based on mediawiki.

I have taken over a large project at work that requires a lot of TLC to get it into a manageable state. The whys and hows of this situation don't really matter at this point.
I was thinking I could use some of the concepts of IT Service Management to rein in this project. It has no coding standards, no change management, no issue tracking, and no build process to speak of. Everything is done by hand in Explorer with issues added to a Word document as the help desk receives them.
What kind of formal process would you use to address this situation?
Have you considered ITIL? It has a formalized structure for some of the areas that you’re dealing with, such as application management, change management, and incident management. It’s a formal process with supporting documentation and certifications.
