Hm, i thought it ffits into a 800x600 screen, however, a new page is already in development. > - The news page also contains a short description of Warzone, so on > 800x600 the first news gets just the lowest third of the screen and > thus the second half isn't shown. > This is because the News-Page is the starting page too, so that new people have an overview. 800x600 still exists today, i know, but its a bit out of time. I'll keep the compatiblity that the whole page fits into 800x600 screen, but i can't design the content for it anymore.

However, the screenshots section dosn't need javascript to view the images. If someone has turned off javascript, the images are still shown, like a normal link to http://...bla.jpg.

I plan, with the new page, to change to a new Wiki-Software. Dokuwiki leaks speed (uses files instead off database) this pisses me off sometimes and i think other users too. I'm still looking for an alternative, Media-Wiki is -in my opinion- to blown up and to hard to manage, as administrator. (page locking aso...) However... > - The links should be larger > Thats your personal opinion. All font-size declarations are in 'EM', so you can easiely change the font size permanently on the client side. But i think on the new page i'll make them bigger. > - The wiki FAQ doesn't need to be on the front page, a link is enough > I don't think so. My idea is to create a little portal on the wiki start page, so that the user has a small guide or overview to navigate quickly to the most common sections in the wiki. I think a short explanation what he can do should be there. > - More links! There were some pages linked from the forum no other wiki > page links to. > Ehhh, i hate mass linking. I'll try to seperate the linking depth. This means new users have a 'easy to understand' overview to the most important sections. (Downloads, FAQ, Forum, about <whatever>) And advanced users which go deeper into the site will get more categorized links. (Webdesign is a pain...) > - More content.

My whish is, to concentrate all together. I like lav's docs project, but i would like also if he would port it the the 'main' site. Maybe the wiki for example. Bu i don't know if Lav will/would do that :( > - More organization, better structure.
