Ciprian and I have been discussing the new layout, and we got to the point where a knowledge of Sourceforge and CVS is essential. We have to merge somehow the new site (blackbox.zuavra.net) with the old one. It's coming along nicely, but we (at least, I) need some help with the transition. I transcribe below some of the flow from the -website mailing list:

I haven't touched the CVS yet, I was waiting for at least one other person to become involved so there would be a reason for concurrent development. We will have to ask Shaleh or Brad for guidance. The site is not ready for primetime and it's quite different from what's in CVS right now. We can probably either create a brand new module or we can commit over the old website after some proper tagging so they don't get mixed. --------------- ----------------- On Sun, 18 Jan 2004 02:03:00 -0300 Adriano Varoli Piazza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Y así escribió Ciprian Popovici <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > Regarding the other part of your message: I think I can manage to > > > do the design part of this site.

The news are read from the database, by a PHP sequence which uses a function common to all news items to display them in a cycle as needed. There's a P and a DIV involved which use the "news-..." CSS classes, as you can see from the HTML source. The function is defined in/_lib/lib_news.php and is called news_display(). Obviously, we'll have to get the code into CVS so you can see it. I've mentioned getting the code into CVS before but Shaleh and Brad must've missed the message, either that or I missed any eventual reply. I was wondering whether we should commit over the old "website" module (eventually tag our version with a label) or create a brand new module for this.
