Hi all.
I've put preliminary versions of (almost) all the LyX home site onto
sunsite.auc.dk/lyx. Please check them out and give comments.
- Note that a couple of file names have been changed, I added the LyX 1.0
press release, changed the shortcuts in the navbar as well as some titles,
and I think made a couple other minor changes.
- I didn't copy feedback.phtml. I don't know if/how that works with
php3, although I suspect it will work just fine.
- should titles ($title) be centered (in start.php3)?
- are there more non-english sites to put in i18n.php3 (which used to be
translation.html, even though it isn't really about translation) now that
we don't have a "links" section in the navbar? E.g., I was going to add
Asger's site, but netscape claims it hasn't been updated since 1997. Any
other languages? IMO, English sites need not be linked unless they've got
really good info. (Hm, do we need a links.php3 too? Or is it covered in the
download & non-english pages?)
- I remember some discussion about using the new & improved press release
language in about.html (now about.php3) as well as the first paragraph of
the LyX home page. Did we (and/or lars) decide not to change it, or did it
just not change by inertia?
- I didn't know what to do about counters et al.
Once we've fixed these minor details, we should think about upgrading the
site. E.g., do we want to change the main home page? Do we want more pages
with info, etc.? Do we want more links to various things (e.g., LyX in the
press)? I think that after I fix the stuff mentioned above, I'll mail to
lyx-users asking for comments on the new (then-beta) page, and see if there
are any good suggestions. (After all, we want the lyx home page to be useful
to *users*, not just devvies, which is why it's not called the developers
only page.)
Of course, once it's under CVS, lots 'o people will be able to change it,
though I suspect few will.
