This has been an bugfix update only:

• some layout errors have been fixed
• articles can now be gotten in PostScript, PDF, plain text and non-framed HTML
• repaired review's overview box at the end
• some image links repaired
• reviews can now be rated again

Again, a few things have changed. The obvious thing is the new design, including these changes and modifications:

• new overall design
• got rid of any JavaScripts
• menus now contain information on what they point to, including date as well as "new" and "update" indicators
• search results now embedded into design
• article rating also embedded into design
• accidently found some .gif files in the operating systems section - replaced by .png

Before posting any new material, i am currently working on these items:

• find and fix bugs (dead links etc - please report)
• improve existing material: partially rewrites planned
• re-implement other formats like plain text, pure HTML (with no site navigation), PDF, PostScript
• some smaller UI improvements

Added article introduction on XSL. This is a more non-tech article, specialized ones on XSLT will follow.

Note: i still did not have envie to overwork the previous uploaded XML article :-)

Added article introduction on XML. Due to a lack of time currently, this is just an unfinished version. There is still missing information on DOM, SAX, XLink, XPath, XSLT, SOAP and so on, as well as a small history on the predessessor SGML.

• Added Glimmer review (source code editor).
• Article's table of contents numbered again.
• Did a few XLink standardizations, still ongoing.
• Few minor changes.

Each article or review can be rated now. The form can be found on the right side; you can choose between five "quality levels" and you cann additionally post a comment. Your vote is kept anonymous.

Also did some other minor changes.

Added a review of the X Multimedia System (XMMS) from 4Front Technologies.

Some new content and fixes:

• Articles: Fixed / added tiny description lines indicating a summary of the document, so as HOWTOs do.
• Added software section:
  • Added an article on the importance of Open Source and Free Software.
  • Added a review on the CD audio grabber Cdparanoia.
  • Added a review on the Ogg/Vorbis audio encoder OggEnc.

• Bugfix: Repaired the XSL stylesheet so that articles now have a table of contents (TOC) again.
• Created a news section; to my shame, it is kinda mirror of this page, but i hope to increase non-neveprise news; especially regarding all around Free Software products and projects such as Debian GNU/Linux, GNOME 2 etc.

• Articles can now be retrieved in:
  • PostScript (.ps)
  • Portable Document Format (.pdf)
  • HTML (.html)
  • plain ASCII text (.txt)
  I still have problems with all formats except HTML: text files contains garbage, PDFs have non-working links and bad graphics while PostScripts do not work at all with my local GhostScript, dunno if they are okay.
• "Search" image ported for IE compatibility (blame this thing on bad PNG support, no real alpha channels).

Still no new content, but:

• Implemented simple help (allows a single word search, results are shown in an ugly page, will hack some more my perl script); script will soon be available here for your use.
• Updated start page, non-javascript link still not working; but: the promised javascript version still is free!
• Updated stylesheet a bit, fixed some graphix for IE; search caption still needs to be converted for IE.
• Fixed hyperref to the GPL.

No new content, just wiped out these issues (partially):

• Replaced most PNGs with IE compatible graphics (no alpha channel).
• Fixed _some_ broken links.
• Added visual links (kinda banner links, but these are no ads).
• Replaced startpage, still broken images.

Upload of first beta version. This beta site contains only few content and has missing features:

• No search implemented yet.
• Non-javascript site not up so far.
• Documents will be available also as XML (custom format), PDF, PostScript and plain text.
• Articles can be rated in the future.
