website Hello, 1.the design of the website is really good now, but I think we need a new logo. I�m sure there are enough people with painting skills among us. Just post some ideas or pictures!
2. There is a picture gallery on the website, but lots of screenshots are very old. I think I know the reason: nobody looks after it because it�s not easy. I think everybody should be able to see who FlightGear looks like, what kind of effects, aircrafts, scenery or cockpits are there. These things are very important to get new FlightGear users. But nobody can�t see such things in the gallery, everybody has to install FlightGear first. I think the solution is a dynamic gallery. There are lots of open-source projects, I�ve even installed a couple of them on my lamp at home and they are very useful. Just imagine all the developers (or even users) could upload screenshots of new aircrafts, effects or scenery. http://gallery.sourceforge.net/ > very cool picture gallery that generates thumbnails automatically, there are lots of settings like size, description, comments or counter, you can upload pictures over the browser and you can even allow other users to upload pictures too. The difficulty is that you need PHP, MySQL database, NetPBM or ImageMagic (to generate thumbnails). http://spgm.sourceforge.net Simple Picture Gallery Manager> you have to make thumbnails and to upload pictures yourself, but it requires only PHP. Curt, can you install such things like PHP, MySQL etc on the webserver? I think http://flightgear.sourceforge.net has already PHP support, hasn�t it? All the best, Ilja _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
