Dear Squeakers,
This is a monthly report about Web Team activities for April 2008.
Web Team main responsibility is to maintain our main public face: the http://www.squeak.org website.
Main news last month is that Karl Ramberg stepped down as a team leader and handled his duties to me. First I'd like to thank him for his past work and also many thanks to the community to invite and confirm me on this role. I will try my best to advance the Squeak public face further as much as possible.
We started with a project to upgrade website to the more up-to-date technology and currently there are already two proposals on-line:
Aida/Web/Scribo based: http://squeaksite.aidaweb.si/ Seaside/Pier based: http://squeak.lukas-renggli.ch/
I hope that we will manage to choose the technology and then upgrade the website next month. After that there are many other plans too, but first and foremost is to improve the Contact us section (http://www.squeak.org/ContactUs/). It is very important that outside world has a simple yet effective way to come in contact with us which is currently seriously limited because of all spam we receive on the published email address. We therefore urgently need to provide a web form with adequate anti-spam protection. This form will also be used for the contact to the other teams and the Board. Deadline for this form is end June.
We are also working on refreshing the content, currently the Teams page http://www.squeak.org/Community/Teams/ while other pages will be refreshed continuously, but a complete recheck will be done when the content will be migrated to the upgraded website.
Best regards Janko Mivšek Web team leader
