{protect} = require './test_helper'
protect()

Storage Proposal

NOTE: in this proposal I use the term "users" to refer to "So Make It Members" and the newly proposed "Friends of So Make It", or, more specifically, "Supporters" since they need to pay a monthly subscription. Friends may have to jump a few more hoops to store their stuff here (e.g. have turned up a few time and thus become known to the community) but are treated basically equivalently to Members.

The space can provide storage for it's users, but storage is at a premium. Users' items should be stored only inside authorised storage boxes.

How much can I store?

The amount a user can store is based on their subscription level (and available space). The first £15/mo covers basic usage of the space (no storage), above this the allowance is allocated as follows:

• npm install
• Restart grunt ensuring all old nodemon instances are well and truly dead

Notes on installing the door-controller

DO NOT FOLLOW THESE NOTES, THEY ARE HACKS!

Do not install node from apt, install v0.10.x (x = 28)

Use gpio-admin from pull request #6 romilly/quick2wire-gpio-admin#6

Make similar changes to pi-gpio node module
