WineHQ redesign - going live soon
OK, I believe the site is ready to go live now. If you want any changes this is your last change to get them in. I need anyone who is available to go through the site and look for bad links, bad grammar, and any HTML anomalies. http://lostwages.winehq.org/ I plan to get the site live at 4pm CST today. In the meantime I'm going to work on any requests. -- _ _ WebGeek/SysAdmin CodeWeavers -= http://www.codeweavers.com | \| |_____ __ ___ __ __ _ _ _ -= http://www.dracowulf.com | .` / -_) | | / ' \/ _` | ' \ -= mailto:jnewman(a)codeweavers.com |_|\_\___|\_/\_/|_|_|_\__,_|_||_| -= ICQ: 1711553 Yahoo: laxdragon

The About box is ONE small pixel higher then the "content" and.. it looks like the webserver's drunk or something.. is there any way to fix that easy? Otherwise I don't care..

Yes, I fixed it with a one pixel spacer. Not optimal, but when I have more time, I'll look into a better fix. -- _ _ WebGeek/SysAdmin CodeWeavers -= http://www.codeweavers.com | \| |_____ __ ___ __ __ _ _ _ -= http://www.dracowulf.com | .` / -_) | | / ' \/ _` | ' \ -= mailto:jnewman(a)codeweavers.com |_|\_\___|\_/\_/|_|_|_\__,_|_||_| -= ICQ: 1711553 Yahoo: laxdragon

Cool -- I am quite happy with the result, even if I still have some small requests :) I do hope that we can do changes to it even after it goes live, right?

OK. What about: -- my Contributing changes I've email yesterday? -- I suggest we get rid of "How to Install Binary Packages" from Binary Downloads, and point people to the HowTo. There's more stuff to it, and that's the place to document it. -- similarly for "how to extract a file" from Source Download. It would be nice if we can add a table or something to it to make it a bit more consistent -- the biggest sore spot in the site is Bugzilla. The reason is that just browsing the menu the user expects a consistent behaviour (the box to the right to change), and we have that with one BIG exception: Bugzilla. And it's not a small exception: in a big flash, everything changes: page layout, headers, color scheme. Every time I click by mistake on it, I'm startled. Suggestion: create a front page that behaves uniformely with the rest of the site (like we did for Documentation). That will at least allow for a pleasant browsing experience. -- Dimi.

Sure, as is policy, I'll maintain the web site much the way Alexander maintains the Wine tree. Check out the website from CVS using the "lostwages" (I think I will keep it that name) module. Make your changes to the local files, then do a "cvs diff > patch.diff", then email the patch to: web-admin(a)winehq.com, with a subject of PATCH.
OK. What about: -- my Contributing changes I've email yesterday?
I'm ignoring them. :-) Some of them I have implemented, others I am keeping my way for now.
-- I suggest we get rid of "How to Install Binary Packages" from Binary Downloads, and point people to the HowTo. There's more stuff to it, and that's the place to document it.
Sure. By the way, thanks goes to Frank's World for the how to. I still think it needs more fleshing out. A patch is welcome for that page.

Send patches.

I agree here. Until I update bugzilla to the web site theme (E.T.A. Never), a placeholder page will go in. I'll possibly copy some bug entry help to that page as well. -- _ _ WebGeek/SysAdmin CodeWeavers -= http://www.codeweavers.com | \| |_____ __ ___ __ __ _ _ _ -= http://www.dracowulf.com | .` / -_) | | / ' \/ _` | ' \ -= mailto:jnewman(a)codeweavers.com |_|\_\___|\_/\_/|_|_|_\__,_|_||_| -= ICQ: 1711553 Yahoo: laxdragon

:) What 'your way' you got that file from me almost verbatim :) I think we're talking about different things again. Here is (part of) my message from yesterday: There are a few things that I'd change, now that I look at it: o collapse C, D, and E into a "Others" or "Miscellaneous" section o get rid of the "Acknowledgements" section at the end, and the reference to it after the menu. We need a separate section for this, listing a lot more than just Corel. As it is, it's unfair, at the very least. o get rid of all those annoying "Back to top" links. o why does the "Our PayPal Account" appear below the PayPal icon, it makes the think thick and short, rather ugly. o the CSS is not right, we use black for section headers, this one uses red o way too many dividing lines This is for the About/Contributing page. -- Dimi.

Pegasus Mail in the Silver Section says: Pegasus Mail - This is the e-mail client of choice for many beginner and advanced users. VERSION 4.02 Install: Yes Run: Yes? (the normal options works, but "how do i send/receive a email? they have hidden the config account options???) Tucows top 100 ladder: 96 Was the 'Run' ever dealt with? How about a change to: "Pegasus Mail requires either wsock32.dll to exist (touch) in the fake_windows/windows/system directory, or it needs to be started with '-z 128' parameter." If you don't start Pegasus Mail with TCP/IP support in one way or another, it's not very useful.

It's called redhat 9 now :) There is no 8.1
Actually, a fully updated RedHat 8.0 will also use glibc 2.3.2 since a few days ago. I haven't had the time to check whether Wine works fine or not under it and the latest kernel update from RedHat. Vincent
It doesn't, CodeWeavers have built an updated RPM for the old glibc that doesn't break Wine. On Tue, 2003-03-25 at 20:40, Vincent Béron wrote:

Wine does work on RedHat 8.0 with the new glibc. Although you need to start with a clean CVS tree or a clean src tree. On Tuesday 25 March 2003 01:40 pm, Vincent Béron wrote:

Bizarre. I wonder if both of us are right. I have a feeling there may be a workaround sitting somewhere :) On Tue, 2003-03-25 at 21:50, Kevin DeKorte wrote:

contribute one :) no need to fake it ;)

It's called redhat 9 now :) There is no 8.1 really ? there is already 8.1 beta available for download.
The links off the documentation page are 404d, I assume that'll change when it goes live?

This screenshot is not faked, it does work, just with some issues. I can replace this screeenshot if enough people complain. ;)

First you must create a virtual ('fake') windows drive The following directories mut exist in your $HOME directory:
s/mut/must/
Oops!
Also, shouldn't wineinstall do this for you? Is that necessary in the HOWTO?
I don't know. This text was not written by me. If you want to submit a better one, feel free.
Shouldn't bug tracking be under the development section instead of support? Perhaps not.
Not.

http://lostwages.winehq.org/?page=status_dlls#Sound_Drivers The extra details links don't seem to work?
Finally, is theming really necessary?
No, not at all. Just something my code can do, why not use whats already there. Why waste my rejected themes when I can simply put them up for those that may like them.
Great work Jeremy, it's looking really cool :)
