[Frogface-general] Bugs online and website getting there

[Declan M. <dec...@fr...>]

Hi there folks,

Yet another week on the frogface front gone by but some progress has been
made. Mainly, I've been concentrating on the website with the graphic
designer and we've got a better version of the website at www.frogface.org.
The designer will be looking at fixing the following over the next week
- putting proper textual content on the website
- making the navigation buttons appear in IE (currently they only display in
Firefox or Konqerour)
- making the site quicker (it's currently full of big images which are
 resized with html tags)
- adding meta tags for search engines

Any feedback on that appreciated.


Now, back to the more interesting topic, that is, the frogface project
 itself. I've spent a while this week putting all the bugs in the bugs
 database. I'll be hoping to start making commiting patches to the codebase
 again over the next week or two - depending on my spare time!

I'd just like to make the point that I think it's fair to say that almost
every developer on the project is busy with work or other outside
commitments. I certainly am! And there will be times where people are able to
contribute a lot and times where they'll be able to contribute nothing. The
main when working on an open source project seems to be to hang in there
through the times where you don't have the time to devote to it and wait unit
you have more free time. I'm just raising the point in case anyone is
frustrated that there aren't code commits happening left, right and centre
over the last few weeks. I have a good excuse - I've just moved to a New
Zealand, started a new job and taken up Brazilian Jiu Jitsu :-)

Anyway, one final question I'd like to ask is if anyone can recommend a good
Wiki that I could run on a Linux server. Something PHP based would be good
that allowed you to restrict updates to project members. I've heard that
MediaWiki (the engine behind wikipedia) can be quiet involved to set up so
I'm looking for something quick and easy. I'd like to set one up to allow us
to centralise user documentation for frogface.

And also thanks to everyone who provided feedback on the 'Getting Frogface
Running on Windows'.

All the best,
Dec
