OpenInkpot section moved into the Archive
![]() Until there is reason to believe that the project will revive (any willing kernel hackers out there?), we're going to move OpenInkpot to our Archive section. The project's source code is still available via Git: http://git.openinkpot.org/ Last edited by Alexander Turcic; 07-31-2013 at 03:23 AM. |

Alas, poor OI! I knew him, Horatio...(when I was still using my BeBook One, that is). It was my favourite firmware, back in the day of the Hanlin V3.

![]() But I haven't used my BeBook for quite some time either, having moved on to reading on my cell phone (bigger screen on today's cell phones, convenience, as it's already in my pocket anyway) or my Android tablet. |

It seems openinkpot.org is gone. Was the site archived anywhere reliable, like github? I am interested in hacking kernels and exploring this codebase, if somebody can supply a copy or a link. Thanks.

OpenInkpot section moved into the Archive
Is this what you're looking for?
www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17414 It does seem as if git.openinkpot.org is gone. Last edited by WT Sharpe; 06-18-2016 at 06:54 AM. |

I don't know if this will be of any value to you or not:

Openinkpot.org (as referenced in your first link) is gone. The second link is to an app that runs on openinkpot.
I am actually looking for openinkpot itself, source code to examine... Thanks. Sad that all the content on that site it gone, and archive.org was of little help. The "wayback machine" does not archive stuff on sites with a robots.txt prevention.. |

Will they spend decades digging for that "missing link"?

Sadly, that link I mentioned as not helpful, estimates the source code value (based on manhours) at 170 megabucks. Sad for so much effort to evaporate like that. https://www.openhub.net/p/openinkpot/estimated_cost The other sad thing is that that link also claims that the git.openinkpot.org source was verified just 4 months ago, but I see that the domain name has expired now (as it was months ago when I checked it). Strange. Hmm... some links at openhub require logins. I wonder if the sopeninkpot source MIGHT be hidden there if I register. Worth a try. They do claim 64 download sites. Hmm, geekmaster has already been taken -- I do not recall using that site, so probably somebody else (though I have used geekmaster "handle" since pre-internet days).

Okay, I created an account at openhub. They do have an openinkpot project (google "summer of code" 2008) but it has ZERO lines of source code in it, and ZERO contributors. How can they estimate so many manhours and so much value to so little code? Oh, wait. That estimate is for a different openinkpot project with 9.8M Lines of code.
Meh. It looks like ALL 64 dowload locations are on the defunct openinkpot.org domain. Or something... Do they actually ARCHIVE stuff at codehub, or just links to external repositories? And archive.org just has teasing snippets of git.openinkpot.org: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http:/...eninkpot.org/* Last edited by geekmaster; 06-23-2016 at 08:38 AM. |

Perhaps you can find someone who cloned the repo before it disappeared and clone it from them. With git, there is no central repository.
