Hi all,
*FreeCol Website*
As promised I spent a day figuring out the joys of Github (with some help from
Winter) to try & help out and have made changes to a number of pages on the
website. I removed version numbers from current status and main index home page
to reduce places that 'age' the si

Thanks Winter! I'm glad my efforts weren't a waste haha! I see you found a nice
icon for the nightly release download too.
David:> This means that we should have our nightly builds available:

Thank you so much David this is great news. Now that we're changing all these
places to tell people to about the nightly releases it's good that they'll see
a nice new one there. I'

I'm not part of the programming team (I help out more with 'customer service'

can help out.

The FreeCol dev chat is probably more meant for FreeCol dev discussions. ;)
