Re: [ReZound-users] possible new web layout(?)

[Davy D. <dd...@us...>]

It looks great Ben.

I'm open to letting you maintain the website if you like.  If you have a 
sourceforge account I can grant you access.  I'm slow going.. so don't 
feel rushed to create anything yet.. just at your leisure.

Some of the information is automatically included from external files 
(i.e. news and the features list).  This is probably something you'd 
want to implement.  Or rather, sourceforge makes rss feeds of most of 
the project page's dynamic content. 
(http://sourceforge.net/export/rss2_project.php?group_id=5056) so if 
those feeds can plug right into the site, that would be neat.

Eventually FOX is supposed to add theming in which case I'd like to put 
the makeup on ReZound's face (well *I* might not do it if some guy comes 
along who can really knock it out).  But don't fret.. I would assume the 
old 'classic' theme could be chosen of course.

At that future time the website and (new) default theme should probably 
match in color and style.  I guess at this point they don't *have* to, 
but it would be good if the color scheme could be similar (which I have 
attempted to make true thus far).

i18n of the website would of course be nice.. I guess we could ask the 
existing translators of ReZound to also translate the website.  I assume 
that there would be a translation file that the website would use as 
well right?

Putting the website into CVS might be a nice option too.. this way it 
could be versioned and potentially translators could update the site by 
having access to their xlation files.  I'll check into this.
