[Firebird-website] New website design and content

[Pavel C. <pc...@us...>]

Hi all,

We have new website design and content, so take a look on it as 
your feedback is needed, especially about Developer's Corner. Let 
me know what's wrong and what's missing.

Best regards

IB-Java should be placed in the development group or at least in the support
group -- it is not a 3rd party list.

[Firebird-website] New site update for 9.1.

[Pavel C. <pc...@us...>]

Hi all,

Check the changelog, Rabbit holes, Dev. corner, code for lists and 
FAQ etc.

http://firebird.sourceforge.net/newsite

Well, tomorrow should be the day D !

Cheers!

[Firebird-website] Another update

[Pavel C. <pc...@us...>]

Hi all,

Yep, another update landed to

http://firebird.sourceforge.net/newsite

Take a look at changelog and source code, Subproject pages at 
dev. corner. BTW, I have to verify content here, it's only preliminary 
"quick shot".

Any taker for History pages ?

Enjoy!

Re: [Firebird-website] More meat

[Pavel C. <pc...@us...>]

Hi all,

Thank you for your feedback ! As you may noticed, I'm not great at 
web design and content production, but I'm learning :-) I'm happy 
that no one found overall structure confusing or hard to navigate, as 
it was my primary focus along with security and easiness of 
maintenance without db backend. Actually, we're on half way to the 
last, as I'm going to introduce some automatic to page generation 
in repeatable areas like FAQ, List & Newsgroups, Documentation, 
Really useful, Rabbit holes and news system. I also put on task 
my brother who is sometimes better at web design / PHP to 
reimplement the comment system (this time for any page / topic 
we would like to set it on and without db :-) and user accounts. 
This hopefully come to fruition early next week (at least the 
comment system). The whole web framework is designed to be 
updated manually now, but with web interface for most changing 
parts in mind. Did I mentioned security ? Yes, it's built do be 
hacker proof from ground zero :-) 

Well, I hope that we can come to public with complete basic site at 
10th, January and it seems that we can make it. Thanks.

BTW, I'll make all php scripts for new site available as single 
download for anyone who wants to play with it, and will update it 
every tim I'll update the /newsite directory (it's a little bit premature 
to put it up to CVS).

Cheers

In the moment it's ordered(on newsite and interbase2000.org):
-IBDI
ib-support
firebird-devel
interbase-br
ibfb-list
ib-architect
ibobjects
ib-conversions
ib-java
ib-priorities
firebirds
firebird-website

I suggest a structure like:

- Development
firebird-devel
firebird-docs
firebird-website
firebirds

- Support
ib-support
ib-conversions
interbase-br
ibfb-list

- Design, architecture
IBDI

I agree.  It's W-in-P of course, but a map page with back-links would be =

Great, this looks quite neat.
But a few issues too :)
- Novice guide - Introduction: The links "Borland Software Corp", "InterBase
6.0" and "ISC" don't work
- Novice guide: It would be better to make the page structure visible like
"page 1 from 4" and every page should be clickable directly from every page
of the guide.
- Dev corner - Lists and Newsgroups: It would be better to have the lists
organized somehow, e.g.: organize it with topic(support, dev, design) or
hosted server(group all sf and all yahoogroup ones)

I don't know LeapFTP, but I worry it doesn't support secure ftp. But 
you can use iXplorer I mentioned before (open source, written in 
Delphi :-). It's easy as copying files between panels. But before you 
can proceed, you have to initialize SSH connection to SF on your 
NT box. You'll need the SSH package for Windows (like PuTTY at 
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/, or ask for 
+SSH +windows +download at Google) and log once to 
shell.sourceforge.net to initialize RSA keypair and your settings at 
SF. You don't need to do anything special, just login with your SF 
user name and password, and then logout. After that, you can 
easily connect to our web site with iXplorer, just define 
firebird.sourceforge.net:/home/groups/f/fi/firebird as remote host.

Or you can use me as a proxy for file uploads :-)

Hey, when I said "static pages" I didn't mean I wouldn't maintain them, I=

I'd really like to see Really Useful go to the firebird site.  One strong=

We could "transmute" those pages and update them.  A lot of those people =

 who's doing what in Firebird.

OK - but I think it would be good to maintain/incorporate the tree-style =

I'm not sure. I think that this kind of stuff belongs to sites like 
IBPhoenix. Not because it's doesn't fit for FB site, but because 
someone have to maintain it, and we haven't anyone to do so (if 
you're not willing to keep up with it), while sites like IBP are 
dedicated to that. BTW, IBPhoenix would be pleased to merge this 
page(s). I don't like to see this page suffering, that's all. Comments 
?

Great page tree! It's exactly what we have to build FB's doc section

Same as Really useful.

Great page too. We need it.

For sure. Any community should know it's roots.

Doesn't hurt.

Of course.

You forgot to mention IBDI Developer Register :-) It's very valuable 
resource that's deserve further maintenance and development. Also 
the list of Open Source projects would fit nicely to FB site.

That's great, but I'd prefer the embedded format :-) i.e. no HTML 
header/footer or sidebars, just content of <body> tag.

Give me a day or two to prepare the basic framework & layout for 
New Site. I'll inform you all as I'd kicking it along. If you haven't 
installed Apache + PHP (even for Windows) already, it's right time 
to do so :-) You don't need the MySQL, as we'll move away from 
phpNuke in favour to more slick (and hacker proof) design. BTW, if 
you're a project member (aren't you?), you can access FB's web 
area through ssh and scp. The best windows tool for secure file 
transfer between our web site and your computer is iXplorer (http://i-
tree.org).

[Firebird-website] Pages from interbase2000.org

[Helen B. <he...@di...>]

Hi all but especially Pavel,

As the IBDI is in the process of unwinding itself, the pages at http://ww=
w.interbase2000.org become available for use on our site.  Of special int=
erest will be:

the Really Useful pages
the Documentation Index
the Tools Pages
the Lists and Newsgroups directory
(probably) the History pages
(maybe) the Case Studies (which all link to pages in the Borland web, but=
 they don't flash up anywhere in Borland's InterBase sub-web)
the FAQ (minus any items relevant only to InterBase(R))

These are all static pages which use the same gifs for navigation.  All I=
 need to do is swap out the little "IBDI" badge and swap in a substitute =
involving the Firebird logo...

Some "housekeeping" will also be involved, to check that all links, image=
 refs, etc. are case-correct, as this site has been cosily lodged on a Wi=
nNT server up till now, with all the concommitant sloppiness about object=
 names.

Pavel, let me know how you want me to proceed.  I don't have access to th=
e web area...

cheers,

OK that's right but why do we have a news-archive area which covers topics
like InterBase, Borland etc.?
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to promote InterBase or something on the
Firebird website, I just hoped that firebirdsql.org site could be a news
