2nd point you dont need anything special simple hyper links to where the
software is will work in terms of downloads. Point 4 im sure there is
something that is floating around on the internet that can be reused and
adapted for our needs. Or for the news we could use something like
wordpress and make it a blog style news setup

[Freecol-developers] Highest Priority Col1 info needed

2014-12-15 Thread Caleb Williams 
Devs:

Now that I've fired up my laptop with Col1 v. 3.1 loaded and I was
wondering what, if anything, is highest priority for information needed
from Col1.

As some of you may have seen in some of my Tickets, I have already compiled
a bit of information needed at:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19V7nnMdhcn4GHBK8rkgJCOOB-Ullzsf-F286oK4YM7I/pubhtml

My first priority will be continuing my survey of starting prices to see
how prices change (or stay the same) based on a few variables such as
Nation, Difficulty Level and Starting Location (within the regular map of
the the Americas). So far the data seems to show not much variation between
Difficulties, but I have not compiled any data on the hardest two levels.
It's certainly possible that there is a

Just wanted to update you all.

Sorry Jonathan, I didn't mean to imply that you'd be contributing money,
but rather time and expertise. The same with you Jonas.

In my case, for better or worse, all the PHP coding I've ever done is to
create websites that don't rely on a backend, but can only be changed
through coding, so I personally don't have a ton of experience with
creating an Admin Control Panel.

>From the opinion of someone who is mainly an end-user and occasional bug
finder (and Col1 mis-rememberer) the most important parts of the website
are:

   - Explain the software (to prospective users)
   - Download the software
   - Explain the software (to users)
   - Provide news on releases, development, etc. to users of the project.

The first and third points can be relatively static, but their needs to be
some type of ACP backend to get the second and fourth points updated.
