We will keep that old version around for comparison for a while, but eventually we will get rid of it.) I have now removed all the old website files. It's amazing how that removal has substantially simplified the www subdirectory of our source tree. (Another way of saying this is PHP and CSS is powerful so a few files gets the job done compared to the many files required for the old website.) I have done some fairly thorough checking that this mass removal has not compromised any part of the current website, but let me know if you spot anything that is missing. I have made two substantial improvements to the current website. (1) I have rewritten the documentation section and corrected the PHP filesize calculations for that page. (2) I made some changes so that we get a clean bill of health from the W3C validator for the pages of our website. This last improvement means virtually all browsers should be able to render the pages of our website without difficulty. Of course, let me know if any rendering issues remain for your browser of choice. Two known issues remain with the current website. (1) The Credits section still is a copy of the out-dated language of the Credits section of the old website. Werner has told me he is working on rewriting this section. (2) The new Development section is currently a place holder. We will either hide it or populate it in the next little while. If there are any other issues with the current website (http://plplot.sourceforge.net), please let me know. Alan __ Alan W.

Re: [Plplot-devel] Website improvements
The SourceForge mailing lists seem down at the moment, but this post should get distributed eventually so for the record, I have just changed our website (http://plplot.sourceforge.net/) over to Werner Smekal's new PHP-based version. (If you still want access to the old site, look at http://plplot.sourceforge.net/index_old.html. We will keep that old version around for comparison for a while, but eventually we will get rid of it.) To generate the website locally I used the newly committed script scripts/generate_website.sh following the directions in README.Release_Manager_Cookbook. I then uploaded that local website to SourceForge using rsync (also following the instructions in README.Release_Manager_Cookbook. SourceForge is no longer ssh-accessible since their move to their new Chicago data centre which is why rsync is now the correct method of updating the website.) Just a few typos to report: Tk/Tcl (interactive environments) is normally written as Tcl/Tk FORTAN (language bindings) should be Fortran Regards, Arjen - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Plplot-devel mailing list Plplot-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/plplot-devel

I think you will agree with me that the new version of the website looks sharp, and I would like to thank Werner for this effort. Since the website content has been regenerated today, it includes Jerry Bauck's recent documentation of the Ada examples and bindings. Also, the examples page includes updated source code that reflects all the recent efforts of many of you to fill in virtually a complete set of standard examples for all language bindings (including OCaml and Ada). It also includes the Ada and f77 example source code for the first time thanks to some bug fixes I committed today in our website generation scripts. Enjoy the new website and also please post to this list if you find any issues with that website. Alan __ Alan W.
