Title: Things that will go on the new website

Mission statement: There is now current public, clear statement of purpose (outside the discussions on this forum, which would nee perpetually bumped).

A getting started FAQ: RT has generously begun a really good draft of this, I'd like to supplement it with CVS instructions and things like "getting DX8 SDK setup correctly).

A download section for test builds and release builds.

Links to all our online tools and docos (CVS changelogs, doxygen, etc).

Links to coding and commenting standards (something we have indeed been a bit lax on).

List of implemented features.

List of features in progress.

List of things people are not actually working on, but need someone to look at.

Hopefully, I will have all this up in the very near future, perhaps before i leave for Indie Con.

I have added two directories:

testerlist:

This will contain all tester stuff from now on, great incase I get run over by a bus.

kbase:

This directory will hold the new knowledge base we are going to put together. Will actually put something in it ASAP. :)

Thank you sir :)

FYI for everyone else, we're gonna be putting stuff up on the fs2source site at warpcore while we wait for final touch ups on the VW site.

We've been without for too long, tiem to change that :)

OK, I've put up the knowledge base as it is, rather sparse.
http://fs2source.warpcore.org/kbase/index.html

Im hoping that people like DTP (check your mail), Inquisitor, Slade, and R1 will make conbributions in the areas they have a lot of info for.

Im sure theres other people who could contribute, I would really like someone to write a comprehensive doc on tables.

Also its worth noting I have started a 'how to' section.
Any suggestions for things that should be in there?
Of course someone has to know how to do it in the first place.

I'll add the CVS stuff, and a mission statement.

It looks like we might get the VW site today, BTW.

Well probably not going public today but Orange and I have been working for a couple of hours and its coming together very nicely.  Stuff like the poll and news systems are in place (even a .Plan system).  Things are in good shape so far.

The timing is ironic to say the least.

It is?

In any case, the site is very close to being ready.  Its more upto Inquisitor now but I've promised to get a bit of the current content online and help him get started on the rest.  The hard work is done, its just some content stuff that needs a fixin.
