Hi,

This seems to have become a bad habbit of mine, but I'd like to apologize for 
the lack of updates (yet again).

I was actually planning on posting an update tomorrow (or on sunday), but the 
following quote promted me to do it now.

As we all know, some dreams do come true. ;-)

The status of the website re-write at the moment is that most of the stuff is 
actually done, the "only" thing really needing some love is the screenshots 
section. At the moment I just dump out the images when you click a game. And 
then the javascript used on the frontpage for showing screenshots, as well as 
the "random screenshot" feature (on the screenshots sections main page).

Of course there are some quirks here and there that needs twinkering, but those 
could always be fixed at a later stage. Just getting this out for some battering 
(read testing/usage) to find any flaws would be good.

There are some templates that haven't been updated that still use tables for the 
content layout, but that's not a blocker so it can be fixed later. There are 
however some other CSS/div issues that needs to be addressed before it's taken 
into use. I'll deal with those once the screenshots section is taken care off.

Max pointed out to me previously that SourceForge has a service for hosting 
non-project specific stuff under what they call "Developer Web". It is mentioned 
  in this forum post: 
http://sourceforge.net/community/forum/topic.php?id=3878&page&replies=1

However, I haven't had any success in using it, I've tried it previously, and 
just now, it keeps telling me "permission denied". I guess I either need to 
belong to a project, or that information is outdated and there is updated 
information  available somewhere. Though I haven't found anything, but I'm no 
good at searching/finding documentation on SourceForge. So any help on using 
this would be appreciated, it would mean that I can upload the code and people 
can test it.

I'd also say that the code is in such a shape that I wouldn't be (too) ashamed 
for it, so if you wish to get it tracked under SVN let's get that rolling as well.

Well, I guess that's all I have to say at the moment.


Regards,
Fredrik
