Subject[Csnd] Some infos/instructions for the new website.
First of all, Happy New Year!

* News: If you maintain a project related to csound (frontends, 
utilities and such) you should contact me (specifying your account name) 
so that I can upgrade the account to give it permission for publishing a 
news entry. You could publish a news entry to annouce a new project or a 
new release and it will appear in the home/news page.

* Forums: it would be preferable to have the forums about specific 
versions/frontends administered by the project's authors. Also, if there 
are other forums you would like to have, please do tell!

* Blogs: when you make an account on the website you can post on forums 
and post comments on news (and in a near future also below tutorial 
pages and whatnot) but you can also post on your own blog page. Each 
blog has his own page and there's an index page www.csounds.com/blog.

Once you'll start publishing on blogs and forums, we'll put the links to 
the last blog posts and the last forum entries on the sidebar.

One last note: all the pages of the website with the old layout have 
been linked without any modification. And most of them have 
broken/outdated links. So there's no need to report those broken links, 
since they will soon be cleaned and checked and then integrated in the 
new version.

Cheers,

-c.

I just did a test blog at cSounds.com.  Not sure if this was the intended
result, but my blog entry showed up on the front page.  I personally only
expected it to show up at www.csounds.com/blog.  Front page aside, this new
blogging functionality at cSounds may prove to modernize the Csound
community.

Best,
Jake

No it wasn't.  :-) 

I've set the intended behavior now. Blog posts can be about anything 
(related to csounds). In particular, it would be interesting for users 
to document his/her experiences about working with csound. So, they're 
not necessarily news. Those with a 'contributor' profile can post news 
too. But we should decide what qualifies as a news. To me it would make 
sense to use it almost exclusively for software announcements and mayor 
events/facts. Please, let's discuss this all together.

Keep in mind that the /blog page has its own feeds that you can 
subscribe too. Or you can subscribe to individual blogs too. Neat, isn't it?

I have also added the block with the most recent blog posts to the 
sidebar. There's also one for the most active forum topics, which is now 
invisible since there isn't any.

Cheers,

-c.
