Well it is the New Year and another month has passed, but alas the new version of this web site is still not finished :-( Work is progressing nicely though with the new look front-end largely completed, the article publishing system half way there, and the scalable interface revised.
The following work is still outstanding though:
- User account functionality.
- Image and HTML caching functionality.
- Auto generating printer-friendly versions of articles (with PDF to follow!).
- User commenting system on articles.
- Forum!
- Conversion of old articles (70+) to new publishing format.
As you can see I have my work cut out for me, while I am reluctant to do an update to the live server until all of this work is completed and tested. Basically my policy now is to leave the live site in a state of hibernation until the new version is finished, and then do a full update. Hopefully I will be closer to achieving this by the end of January.
Updated 2021 : note that the above post is out-of-date, given this post was originally published in 2006, but is left here for archival purposes.
