[Webtutorials-team] New Release

[Pieter D. <pie...@ho...>]

Hi,

I added Release0_2 to the project page with some minor changes from the 
first release (e.g. new menu items). Also try reading the release notes for 
information on how to get the package working. I'm very sad to see how ppl 
want to join and I never hear from them after... I hope at least someone 
will help me with this tutorials site. Thx in advance!

Greetz,

[Webtutorials-team] First Briefing

[Pieter D. <pie...@ho...>]

Dear webtutorials-team,

It's been a few days now since I started this project, searching for 
developers wanting to help with the creation of an open source tutorials 
page. At the moment there are 6 members who want to give it a shot.

First of all I want to ask you if you are still in the project. If not, plz 
give me sign, so I can remove you from the member list.

For those who are still wanting to help:
If you haven't downloaded the current package yet. Plz try this first to get 
a glance of what the project will be and what's the structure of the php 
pages. In the package there is a database directory with two files: ddl.sql 
(data definition) and dml.sql (data manipulation). You first need to create 
a new mysql database called 'webtutorials' and execute those 2 scripts to 
create the tables and a few data. If that's done, you can try to view the 
webpage by putting the php files in the right web directory (e.g. 
.../Apache/htdocs/webtutorials/) and accessing the right URL (e.g. 
http://localhost/webtutorials/index.php). If you get a database error, there 
can be a few reasons:
- you haven't installed PEAR (http://pear.php.net) and the file 'DB.php' 
can't be found
- the dns 'mysql://localhost/webtutorials' located in the constants file 
'includes/constants.php' is not right. maybe you need to add a username and 
password this way: 'mysql://username:password@localhost/webtutorials'
- your database is not available or corrupt.
If there are no problems, you should now be able to signup, login, 
add/remove tutorials, add/remove chapters, ... There are alot of links that 
haven't been implemented yet though. Thats why I need you for the project ;)

Now if you are ready to participate in the project, plz visit the project 
page at sourceforge and get a look at the tasks I added there. If you find 
something interesting plz mail me and I'll assign the task to you. You can 
also think about other features and share them with the team... I hope to 
work with you soon!

Greetz,

RaKKeR
