Hi all,
encouraged and with help of Joe Peer I've started
to transfer the current web pages to the Sourceforge
site. Joe has offered to put a redirect on the old
page when this process is finished, so that the new
homepage will be reachable under both addresses:
jdbforms.sourceforge.net
www.dbforms.org
I'm currently not planning to do major changes, this is
just a step to make it possible for all dbforms developers
to access and update the web pages.
We should not continue to offer releases via the web pages,
instead we should start to use the file release system
at sourceforge. As a start, I uploaded the current release
into that system. The release date is (one day) wrong,
don't know if it is a timezone problem or was a mistake of mine.
I'm planning to upload the other older
releases as well this way during next days.
Main releases will be published under package name
'dbforms' (what a surprise!), I also added a second
package dbforms-devel for developer releases between
main releases. This was a suggestion from sf docs.
We can also publish pdf docs this way. I don't expect
a new manual to be published each time we have a bugfix
release, so maybe we add a third package dbforms-manual?
That would not prevent us from making it also available via
dbforms homepage.
Minor changes I did:
- updated header to contain a link to old homepage
- removed (outdated) Javadocs
- updated 'latest builds' page to contain just a link
to sf file release system
Several links are still broken (especially on 'release v1.1'
page), just because the upload of releases to frs is not finished,
after that the page can be updated.
The online demos are still on old server www.wap-force.net.
Sourceforge offers cgi and mysql, but no hosting of webapps,
that is the problem.
Regards
Dirk
