https://download.simplemachines.org/requirements.php

Thanks for advance.

[Illori]

we are aware, it is pending someone with time to update it.

Thanks.

I saw what i was looking for in the smf 2.1.4 install zip (the readme)

you can also find the requirements here https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/SMF2.1:Requirements_and_recommendations

Still not updated.
Perhaps you could just put a link to the https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/SMF2.1:Requirements_and_recommendations there in the meantime, this can't take that long....

Do you think these things are done by magic? Imagine someone giving you a 10,000 page manual and saying to update this. How long do you think it would take you to do that? And that's not counting the fact our team have real lives outside of SMF.

No, by someone with the correct permissions going to this page
https://download.simplemachines.org/requirements.php
and adding this link at the top of the page,
https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/SMF2.1:Requirements_and_recommendations

Takes as long as it took you to reply to me here.

While I do agree that the response was short, and the time its taken is shocking, I do also know that the site team who are the ones that would need to do that are not as active as the SMF team members, the site team are part of SM team the parent body.  I also agree while the page is updated a link to the wiki would be a good alternative or even the best way for future as it will save having to update the individual page going forward.

No, it really doesn't. The site system is not a simple PHP script in the way you think it is, and getting it replicated to all the server environments (this site doesn't run on a single server) is far less trivial than you assume.

And that's before we factor in that there's like only two people that can currently do it. When they have time.

[...] there's like only two people that can currently do it. When they have time.

But are they aware of it at all, and do they have this on their to-do list?

[Illori]

It is a work in progress.

Almost certainly, and almost certainly. But almost certainly it is lower down their list of priorities than you or I might like. That is, unfortunately, life.

Calm down all.  There was a team topic regarding rewriting the overall content for the page, but it was forgotten.
