Yes, I think PHP is better in this case. IMO it would make sense to
stick with PHP as long as possible.

No, it was probably from the previous maintainers. You can scrap
everything if you need.

I've also found that a lot of stuff exist in

wxCode/htdocs.old
wxCode/crap

and also the folders
wxCode/components
wxCode/devel
are not useful anymore; I cannot delete them because I do not have the 
required rights to do it (but I suspect you haven't, too); the only 'w' 
permissions set are for the users 'mrmiagi' & 'thebabelfish'... we 
should ask them to remove all those stuff (which takes roughly 50 mb of 
our 100 mb webspace quota) or ask SF.net staff to do it...

in the crap/ folder I've found the old website of wxCode which I think 
could be useful in some way; I've download all the stuff on my local 
PC... maybe I can recycle something useful ;-)

Good idea, as a project manager you can submit request yourself to the
SF staff.

Just go ahead as you think.

Hi,

ok, I've submitted the request to SF; also I woud like to ask you other 
wxCode-administration things:

1) I have created the RULES page at wxcode.sf.net/test/rules.php; please 
check if you think I've missed something but misunderstood anything...

2) I'm going to fill the wxCode database with the info I can take from 
the wxCode CVS repository; but I'd like to avoid useless work: are all 
the 45 (!) components in the CVS active ?
Should we remove some of them which have been abandoned ? some controls 
(like animate) have been moved to the contrib folder of wxWidgets; 
should we remove them (even if I know that Julian would like to move 
contrib stuff in wxCode! so maybe we should ask first) ?

3) can I begin to commit the files I currently update in 
wxcode.sf.net/test/ in the wxCode\website CVS folder ?

Let me know,
Francesco

Francesco, at the moment I'm hard pressed to find time for any
development at all so I really can't spend enough time for you. Maybe
someone else can help you further.

Re: [wxCode-users] About site reworking: database

[Francesco M. <f18...@ya...>]

Hi,
    I'd like to know if you think I've handled all the possible info in 
the wxCode database.

I've put a copy of phpMyAdmin in 
http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/phpMyAdmin; you can use it to see how the 
components table is currently organized...

Let me know if you think something is missing,
Francesco

This would be exceptional, I hope you do it in a way so I could use it
for wyoGuide and wyoDesktop also.

I've given you access rights to the wxCode website but be carefully,
else the website can't be accessed. Maybe use a subfolder "test" or
something until you're sure it works or simply put it directly onto the
project htdocs folder without going through CVS.

I won't mind if you put it into CVS as well.
