okay, the first pass changes to the site are about half or 2/3's
done. i'm going to go collapse for a bit, then i'll hack on this some
more tomorrow afternoon and early evening. ghu willing, i'll switch
things over tomorrow night, about this time.[1] announcements will be
made in pertinent places.
if you're going to bitch about stuff, doing it now would be a Good
Thing. 8^)=
the new pages are all in the <
URL:http://www.xemacs.org/newlook/>
directory, but are symlinked into the root dir (leaving the current
site intact). Basically, if you go from /newlook/index.html -> any of
the new pages -> back to
www.xemacs.org/index.html, you're going to be
back at the old index page.[2] just don't get too lost. 8^)=
*THINGS I NEED*
if anyone would like to contribute some screenshots of cool looking
XEmacsen, that would be nice.
also, one of the things to do tomorrow is the links sections,
so if you're got (X)Emacs-related content that's not on
www.xemacs.org
and you'd like a pointer to it, please send the URL. a short
description of the content would also save me some time.
finally, someone from the development group (what do you guys call
yourselves in a collective sense?) should have a look at
<
URL:http://www.xemacs.org/newlook/Develop/index.html>. that's the
'how to help out' page. i wasn't sure how people went about joining
the effort, so what's there is probably not accurate.
okay, off to bed...
john.
Footnotes:
[1] i'm in UTC-7, for those of you playing the home version.
[2] yes, you're lost in a twisty little maze of web pages, all alike.
