Re: WikiWiki
See, for example http://joyful.com/zwiki/WikiWikiWeb Looks like a user-contributed website with linkages. The (newly revived!) FAQ-o-matic does a similar thing. But WikiWiki is much more flexible!

Re: Status ?
Salut Benoit, I'll pass this along to Ben Collins who has been working on all sparc related platforms. I have not worked with them in over a year, and you should address your questions to him. The www.d.o/ports/sparc64 web page does need to be updated... I'll copy our web team on the mail as well. Regards, Nils.

Re: debian site design thoughts
brent verner: don't be surprised if it looks horrible. If it looks horrible it's your fault. Opera's CSS support is one of the best available. (Okay, I'm not only saying that because I'm an Opera employee). if so, would you mind checking out debian.rcfile.org and screenshotting it for me? (thanks) http://www.softwolves.pp.se/tmp/debian.rcfile.org/ side note: i'll work on supporting other browsers at some point in time, but as long as the design/layout is under revision, i'm only going to about what it looks like in my browser (moz = m18) using html-4.01-strict and CSS. I found that I had to have different CSSes to support different browsers for a recent redesign. One for Netscape 4, and one for the rest... (BTW, are you subscribed to debian-www? If so, I can drop you from the Cc'ing). -- \\// peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ Statement concerning unsolicited e-mail according to Swedish law: http://www.softwolves.pp.se/peter/reklampost.html
