Francesco (I'm assuming you changed index.html/php), please see the
readme.txt in the the root directory (add to it as as necessary).

You have to get the CVS version of the website, edit files locally,
commit, and then do a checkout at SF using the script wxCode-website
or just run the parts of it that are necessary for your changes.

Secondly, do we want to have doxygen docs in wxCode's CVS? They're
pretty large and checking out wxCode is already pretty slow. I think
that just providing a doxygen.cfg file for people to run may be enough
since doxygen is easy to use. We could also make them available to
people by putting them up on the website in
htdocs/doxygen/projectname. That way people can refer to them online
and if they really want a local copy either provide a zipped version
(also stored in htdocs/doxygen/projectname) or like I said, just ask
them to run doxygen themselves. Each individual maintainer would add
these using ssh (probably using scp) as suits them.

Thirdly, for screenshots, we could create
htdocs/screenshots/projectname and users put their screenshots there.
We could provide a sample template for people to use if they like,
just so long as they have an index.html it'll work. All the developers
for wxcode have ssh rights if I understand correctly, so they'll have
to manage this aspect themselves. Again, I don't think it would be a
good idea to put these in CVS since they're binary and when you
download a component you'll have no need or want to have them. (Maybe
this could be made easier with a wiki, but I don't know anything about
that.)

Just some thoughts,
