I built IRATA.ONLINE expressly with the goal of getting many people in the retro computing communities at large to come together and do something interesting.
Two years in, and I'm starting to wonder if I am wasting my time trying to promote it, as very few seem to even notice or care, even within these relatively small communities.
I guess everybody's just fine with playing with themselves...

IRATA.ONLINE is ambitious. As ambitious as the implementation is cool. I did a few demos of it at VCF West on my IIgs as per our conversation, but at the moment the complexity of the service - albeit necessary for all those interesting features - makes it a bit difficult for someone like myself who just picked it up a week or so prior (while preparing everything else for the exhibit) to demo it effectively. I got stuck in a few places at the event and wasn't sure how to continue aside from disconnecting and reconnecting.
I absolutely think this service is worth the time, but perhaps documentation and walkthroughs are where the next efforts might go to get more people using it. Even with the key equivalents printed out I get stuck from time to time. I can do reasonably high quality video capture from my system, so once I get the usage of the system down that might be an area where I can contribute.
