An initial (actually dynamic, but it may as well be static) version of the libvisual website is now properly up at http://libvisual.sf.net/v2 It does run off a database, and the frontend seems to be working nicely. What's missing is the administration bit; currentely, any updates have to be done with phpmyadmin and some knowledge of how the whole damn thing works. I'm aiming to get the admin interface done soon; it's actually harder than the main site, since it needs users and extra functionality like that. If you want, I could redirect the main site there now (the content's exactly the same, I've just copied it over), but you won't be able to do anything to it (adding news?) without adding a row or two in the database. Or getting me to do it. Anyway, work will continue on the admin stuff tomorrow. Andrew |

The site rocks! About the admin stuff, try to keep with SF resources and people use that, just things that are not available there you need to code. -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri --------------------------------------- Engenharia de Computacao 2001 - UNICAMP GPSL - Grupo Pro Software Livre Cell..: +55 (19) 9165 8010 Jabber: gsb...@ja...

As you can see, it does point to the SF page for downloads... Dennis said he wanted to keep the two news feeds separate; I don't know his specific reasons. I've done the SF RSS feed approach before, with MagpieRSS, but he wanted a separate one, so there it is. Gallery is definitely going in; I'll do that when the main admin stuff is done. Then screenshots galore can be uploaded. Andrew |

I personally like the .sf.net for brief anouncements, like 'new release' and keep the website also for regular updates, semi off topic things. Often with development news, in the fashion like 'look Duilio made the xmms plugin rock harder!' and 'Vitaly is fixing our display target framework, look how good we are', besides 'We thank andrew for his great website work' as last 'Dystopia made docs!!!'... Ok I overdid that a bit, but the message is clear probably ;) > Gallery is definitely going in; I'll do that when the main admin stuff is > done. Then screenshots galore can be uploaded. Rocking for sure. Cheers, Dennis |

Sounds like a challenge *grin* hehe :) > If you want, I could redirect the main site there now (the content's exactly > the same, I've just copied it over), but you won't be able to do anything to > it (adding news?) without adding a row or two in the database.

Ok, now a few requests: 1. an: [older news] feature. 2. an extra site: "Team". 3. remove "Email" and rename it to contact and have a description how to join the mailing lists. 4. Add an 'documentation' entry. We will put some docs there, both user and devel docs. Thanks a lot, Dennis |

I'm going to switch the site in the next hour or so... I'll just write some generic mailing list instructions, unless you have something more specific in mind? Andfew |

Just give links to the subscribe page at the sf.net project site, for both the user and devel list. Make sure you make clear that devel relates to software development, and user for user specific questions.. That'll do it for sure.. Thanks Dennis |

It's done. I have a halfway-done admin backend here, but there's no user validation (so anyone could use it :-s ). It should be finished soon. In the meantime, if you want to add some news, either send me a message or load up the DB and have a shot at it ;) Andrew |
