Some information abot the edu.kde.org web site

21st July 2001, Chris Howells
Update 19th March 2003, Anne-Marie Mahfouf
Update 18th September 2005, Pino Toscano

Please send any further questions to kde-edu@kde.org.

It would be appreciated if you could bear these things in mind when working on the web site.

1. The module to check out is /trunk/www/sites/edu.

   $ cd trunk
   $ svn co www/sites/edu
   

   Don't forget to do a

   $svn up

   before every change you want to make.
   
   
2. The site is designed to validate as strict XHTML. XHTML is an extension to HTML 4. It says that:
   1. Every tag must have a closing tag <li></li>
   2. Tag properties must be contained in quote marks (e.g. <img src=""...)
   3. The tags that don't have a closing tag (like <br> (HTML)) must be written as <br/> (XHTML)
   Two examples of those:
   <li> does not have a closing tag under HTML 4, while it must have one under XHTML (e.g. <li>...</li>)
   The <img> tag should be closed, like:
   <img alt="Kiten" align="top" src="pics/projects/cr16-app-kiten.png"/>
   
   
3. Please do not use GIF images. GIF images are evil! (no, really). This is due to patents on the image file format. Please use PNG (or possible JPEG) instead.
   
   
4. The site uses quite a lot of PHP functions and classes such as AppInfo, ImageGallery/EduGallery (for screnshot pics galleries), and others. Look at other pages to copy/paste the correct code.
   You can find a tutorial here: http://www.kde.org/media/readme.php.
   
   
5. The individual project's pages will be hosted on http://edu.kde.org/programname. To create such a page, simply copy the pages of an existing project (such as KHangMan), and name the new directory appropriately. Remember to remove the .svn directories in the new subdirectory, otherwise you won't be able to commit it!
   Please put your screenshots pics in a /pics subdir.
   

Alternatively, contact Pino Toscano or Anne-Marie Mahfouf to do it for you.
