Cleaning up sites...

The last two weeks I've reserved time to clean up some of the mess that I left behind when I put the LFScript project on hold. Because it is now an active project again, it is important that people can find their way to the latest version of LFScript, but also know where they can ask for help or report their bugs.

Here are some of the changes I made:
  • I've created two video tutorials that explain the basic use of LFScript 4. The old tutorial describing lfscript2.sh, now has an annotation that refers people to the new video's.
  • The Assembla project page is dead. I no longer host code on it and you can't report bugs there.
  • I've started using Launchpad. A long time ago, when I was looking for a place to host code (and found Assembla), I had also started a project on Launchpad to test that site. I never used it and because it is difficult to get a project deleted on it, it just remained floating out there. Now, I've adopted it as the place for LFScript users to communicate with me. There is a bug reporting tool, and a place to ask questions about the project.
  • All releases (LFScript and Live CD) are now uploaded to my Wuala account. It is the perfect place for me to store and back-up large files, and I can share it with you. A copy of only the latest version of LFScript is mirrored on LFScript.org itself. lfscript.org/latest.tar.bz2 will always refer you to the latest version of LFScript, making it easy to fetch it from the command line.
  • Finally, I restyled lfscript.org. On November 3rd, when the site became live again it looked somewhat like it does now. But yesterday and the day before that, I redesigned and implemented it properly in XHTML. There are some minor changes coming up in the website code, but visually it should stay the way it is now.
