[Dynapi-Dev] New dynapi website

[Andrew G. <an...@zo...>]

Hello All,

I have upgraded the DynAPI website on sourceforge.  I'm hoping to 
revitalize this project and my immediate aim is to help produce 
DynAPI-3.0.0-final. There is much work to be done to reach this goal, 
particularly documentation, testing, and bug fixing.

The new website should be a valuable resource for collaboration amongst 
developers and users.

The old website was based on phpWebSite-0.7.6 and phpWiki-1.2.0 (both 
*very* old). I have installed phpWebSite-0.10.1. Because this skips 
several major releases, it was not possible to transfer all the content 
of the old site to the new.

The old website is still available, but at a different URL:
   http://dynapi.sourceforge.net/archive/dynapi/

The new website is simply at:
   http://dynapi.sourceforge.net/

And the old site at
   http://dynapi.sourceforge.net/dynapi/
now redirects to the new site.


None of the user account records could be transferred to the new site, 
so you'll need to register again. Many accounts never worked on the old 
site anyway, because the password encryption ceased working where 
SourceForge upgraded to php-4.3.

The old "doccenter" was based on phpWiki. The new phpWebSite includes a 
wiki module, so I haven't tried upgrading the wiki. I'm inclined just to 
move content, one page at a time, from doccenter to the new wiki module.

The new phpWebSite CMS contains many modules, most of which I haven't 
explored yet.  If you're interested in DynAPI and have the time and 
inclination to help build the new website (it's still fairly empty), 
then please get in touch with me - your help will be very welcome.

Let see if DynAPI can have a future!
