Changes on the website
by Janko Mivšek 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

Hi guys, While puting a new elected board on their page I also did the following: - put Board under Community,from Foundation - removed Foundation from menu - removed PressRoom from menu, we have Did you know on the fist page and Squeakly news. - removed SqueakersDVD from Community. Well Foundation page was recently renamed to Leadership, but I propose that we put its contents onto the Board page and remove Leadership indefinitely (http://www.squeak.org/Foundation/). All removed things are still present, they are just now in a menu. We can therefore decide later, what to do with them. All pages are accessible here: http://www.squeak.org/site.html?view=contents First level of menu has still to many items, we need to rearange it even more. Any idea? I'd for instance put a License page under Documentation, but not right now, because it is hot .. :) The same with Smalltalk page... Best regards Janko

On the state of Squeak bug reporting (was: Re: [squeak-dev] "find method" changes)
by Michael Davies 12 Mar '10

12 Mar '10

I asked on squeak-dev for the easiest way to clearly indicate that a small piece of code was under the MIT Licence, and one suggestion was to post it to Mantis. I just tried posting my code as a feature (now at http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7478) and at no stage was I asked to confirm that my code would be assumed to be under the MIT licence, so that doesn't seem to help. I created a new account to see if the condition was stated in the confirmation email, and also checked the online documents, but nothing there either. So my first question is, how do we ensure that everyone understands that code posted to bugs.squeak.org in the past, or from now on, is under the MIT licence? Is it possible to add a link to http://www.squeak.org/SqueakLicense/ to the page footer, the registration confirmation email or the login page? I also noticed that this appears to have been the first activity on bugs.squeak.org this year. So a question for squeak-dev readers: What is the role of bugs.squeak.org in the development process, in particular is the following text from the website still an accurate statement? "We currently use Mantis <http://bugs.impara.de/> for issue tracking, both for Squeak itself and other Squeak projects." And on the use of the term "Mantis", on the Community page I find that the Mantis link points to bugs.impara.de, while the link in the Links section is correct, but the title doesn't mention Mantis. WEBTEAM: Could you please update the link on the Community page to correctly point to our bug reporting site at http://bugs.squeak.org? I'd suggest that the text of the link both there and in the Links section should also be " bugs.squeak.org" for clarity and consistency. Okay, rant over now :-). Michael

Supporters page
by Andreas Raab 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

Hi - Here is the first version for the supporters page: http://www.squeak.org/Supporters I'm not sure how people feel about linking the logos statically (in which case I'd need to know where to put them) or whether linking them from other places is fine. If you think the page is reasonable (I think it is) we should add it to the main navigation menu so that it's accessible. Cheers, - Andreas
