Hi, I've been working on the web site redesign / rewrite again. This message is just an update on what's been done and what work is still remaining.
The following pages have been done since last time I did an update here: http://test.netsurf-browser.org/about/ The content here was just rushed off so we'd have something to start with -- it was never intended as the final version of the page. Since the page is all about our project goals and ethos, it really needs to be discussed by everyone. http://test.netsurf-browser.org/about/news Currently just place holder content and not real news. (Same as news on front page.) http://test.netsurf-browser.org/about/screenshots/ All screenshots are just place holder. I'll do new screenshots once the site is closer to completion. http://test.netsurf-browser.org/about/team I really need every core team member to submit something for this page. Please can people reply to this message with what they want me to put on the page. http://test.netsurf-browser.org/about/awards Complete as far as I'm concerned. http://test.netsurf-browser.org/documentation/ Documentation contents page now links to all web site based docs. Maybe layout could be improved but it's not going to delay replacing the proper site. http://test.netsurf-browser.org/documentation/progress Extended an revamped. I'd particularly like James, John-Mark, Richard and Adrian to comment on the accuracy of the status of the core and RISC OS related items. Also I need the status of nsgtk features from Rob. http://test.netsurf-browser.org/documentation/info Updated to reflect current position of JavaScript. Removed RISC OS specific info. http://test.netsurf-browser.org/documentation/roinfo New page for RISC OS specific user info http://test.netsurf-browser.org/documentation/guide Content is largely unchanged, so it's very much RISC OS orientated. The user guide is absolutely vast so I don't intend to update this for multi platform stuff until after the new site goes up, or else it will never happen. http://test.netsurf-browser.org/documentation/translations Pretty much unchanged although I think we should organise proper procedures for keeping translations in sync or at least tracking how up-to-date various translations are. http://test.netsurf-browser.org/documentation/nstheme Not much changed. Waiting for new theme format anyway, so this should need replacing at some stage anyway. http://test.netsurf-browser.org/documentation/develop Updated for multiplatformness. Note that there is currently no documentation on how to cross compile NS for RISC OS. http://test.netsurf-browser.org/documentation/robuild Not really changed much. http://test.netsurf-browser.org/contact/ New page for getting in contact with us; tracker, ML, IRC and general e-mail address info. I changed many of the other docs to just link to a part of this page instead of having contact details dotted around all over the documentation. So the overall picture is: Front page I'm happy with this. It just needs real News added before it goes up as far as I'm concerned. About section Needs a fair amount to work: main about page content, news and screenshots. Documentation section I'm happy with this and it could go up as it is, as far as I'm concerned. The only thing it needs is some checking and additions on the Progress page. Downloads section It can be improved but that shouldn't delay upgrading the site; it can be improved after. Contact section Done. "User support", "Developer area" and "Webmaster area" sections all still need done. I have plans for them though. In general I think it's coming together quite well and will be much better than the existing site. The whole of the new site is much better at making it clear that NetSurf is multiplatform and which bits apply to RISC OS and which don't. I expect the new site will be done by some time around Christmas. Michael -- Michael Drake (tlsa) http://www.netsurf-browser.org/
