The Mana World Forums

Well krismichael asked me about this section a lot of times, but I always forgot to add it
Anyway now it's up and running!

To start I'd like to explain some of my suggestions to improve the website:

• A Xmas version of the logo, something with snow and decorations maybe to show up in this period (Take a look at emule website to understand what I mean)
• Fix the wiki problem: I never believed that, but wiki become vital for our project, so one of the first thing to do is to restore the wiki pages.
• Sincerely I don't like the download section. I would prefer something with more graphic, like a icon button to download latest win binary version, or cvs snapshot and so on. Then I'd like also to have a script to add new downloads easily.
• If I could have also a script to add screenshots easily it would be good =)

Well I suppose that's enough for now

i'm still at it. honestly, i could setup a new wiki within minutes but that won't accomplish anythign since what's important is the content not really how it works, right? since phpwiki's website & irc channel are kindof dead i`m trying to find my way around on the net. a bit tricky since most people did not ever have a problem with it. :-/

alright alright... i will do that after the wiki. problem here is that the only one ever complaining about how the download section works is you. not that i don't care but hey, would be nice to hear other opinions and saying nothing is a "yes, works aliright" to me.

shooting pigeons with a cannon isn't it? atm it's just like before, simple html. i can migrade that to php but in that case i rather should think about a complete admin tool too. thing here is that it only makes sense for the downloads- and screenshot section and those're only 10% of the site. i do know that these are to impress any new visitors but i never have seen a free game project adding pictures or downloads so frequently that an automation was necessary. if you really want it, alright tho.
