It is all HTML but this is also XHTML strict so the content of the site uses and for the main content, the rest of the structures are in the css file. So this is more XHTML then HTML. This makes the site beutiful to work with. :) This is a title Here we have some info That is all sort of. But then again this depends a lot on what you want the file to include.

If we do not need remote CVS access, we can simply set up a local repository on wilber (the box that runs the web server). If you do not have an account on that machine, then we can use a remote CVS server. For example, we could apply for the creation of a new module on cvs.gnome.org.

As someone who still has to use Netscape 4.x from time to time (old
computers, not enough memory to run newer browsers), I would like to
be able to support Netscape 4.x as long as it does not add too many
constraints on the design.

It is not prohibited, but I would like to avoid that if possible.
This trick would require dynamic pages. This would not only increase
the load on the server, but this would also prevent the pages from
being cached in proxies. I prefer static pages.

I have used a similar trick in some pages that I have designed, and it
works quite well. I suggest using that.
Also, Netscape 4.x does not support the CSS borders correctly, but
there are ways around that. I am convinced that it is possible to
design the pages is such a way that they is not completely broken in
Netscape 4.x. But I would like to focus first on the way the pages
will be created (building scripts, directory structure, etc.).

I agree. There are still a number of GIMP users who are relying on
this old browser, so we should try to suppport it as long as possible.
The pages don't have to look nice, but they should at least be
readable and they should not "look broken".

The best thing one can do with NN 4.x is [IMHO] to
(a) detect it with PHP or whatever and don't include style
sheets, or include a different one -- this is prohibited IIUC
(b) use some dirty trick
http://centricle.com/ref/css/filters/
to make it see no/other/only part of the style sheet, e.g.
@import url("bigstyle.css")
Since people still use NN 4.x, they should be able to
display the pages in some readable (not nice) form, so I
suggest hiding CSS for NN 4.x with @import.

Hi, I have done a small test design based on the design that drc has done and also drc has helped me to make the test developers site look good with the changing of colors and images. The test site can be located here: http://devel.helloween.kicks-ass.org/ But remember that this is a test design. Now I know that Raphaël wants to do the scripts so I have a suggestion: I can do the design and Raphaël can do the scripts and the content of the site. What do you think Raphaël? And I would also like to thank drc with the help of my weird ideas.

It would be very nice if someone could build these docs with the correct links and send a tarball to me or Sven (or even better, tell me where I can fetch the file using ftp or wget). I currently do not have the tools necessary to rebuild the docs on my own machine, so I would appreciate to get a copy from someone who can build them.

I can provide some help for this. Given the current state of the old developers FAQ, I'd recommend removing the link or at least mentioning that it is outdated (and wrong in some cases).
