Active FFII members should have editing access now. The current state of the site is found at http://nsp.a2e.de/. It is transferred to nosoftwarepatents.com by a 'svn update' on that site which is performed manually after a review from time to time.
If you are interested in working on nosoftwarepatents.com, please subscribe to the nsp-parl mailing list and ask questions to nsp-help@ffii.org.
Currently Hartmut Pilch and Norbert Bollow are working on the site, but we need quite a few more people, especially for maintaining the site in all its languages.
You may also to be able to find the site editors in IRC.
How to edit existing pages
- Check out as suggested above
- edit nsp/lang/fr/page_politics.html
- edit nsp/lang/fr/politics_current.html
- edit nsp/lang/fr/const.php
- svn commit -m "updated french version"
In the const.php file you edit the titles as they appear in the left hand menu.
How to add new pages
- Check out the whole site
- edit include/navbar2.php
- edit lang/const.php
- edit lang/fr/const.php
- edit pages/.htaccess
- svn commit -m "added ROUND3_COMPAT page"
If you study carefully the syntax of the above named pages, you can find out what to do. Special care is required by the .htaccess page: it can break the whole site. In case of doubt, ask nsp-help at ffii org for more explanations.
