I am not allowed to reply to announcements, so I'll post my thought here.

It is a good start.  The colorscheme needs to be changed to make the text more readable.  The "crosshair" is lame, let's chuck it.  The title graphics is cool, but needs to be adjusted a bit, cause it is hard to read.

As for content, I think I already mentioned that the very first page should be aimed more at newbies and introduce the Darwinbots to newcomers.  Once they are hooked, they'll come to board/wiki for more information.

I've been waiting for you to post something, but now I can help a lot more with the page.

You automatically hit reply to huh. :rolleyes: It took several attempts before it hit me why I couldn't reply :lol:

Yeah the link structure is relativly okay but that color scheme does suck. I'd probably stick with a similar scheme to what we've been using.

Man, I just got done adding to the wiki, and your telling me I've got to move it. Sheesh. Oh well, I'll try and give you a hand anyways. :)

Numsgil:
Yeah, sorry endy, but the good news is that you can just copy and paste pages, so you don't have to sit and try to re-come up with everything from scratch.

But as you get into it, you'll see why the mediaWiki engine is sooooo much better.  Plus, this way it's actually on our webspace, so I get to control everything about it.

I actually like that you moved it, I was kind of worried about the viability of xwiki to keep going(the profitability on a free wiki is just a little questionable :) ). I was really not looking forward to a possible sudden shop close by them.

Endy :)

Carlo:
About the web page. These is a list of things which IMHO need to be changed:

1) the logo isn't the original one, though the original one was itself not very good; but this seems to me definitely worse (looks banal). I'd prefer a different logo or keep the old one.

2) Colours scheme is dark, gloomy, and readability is bad.

3) There are no images, to understand what the site is about you have to read what's written: and still you won't find on the main page the words "artificial life" or anything else explaining what the program is about.  

4) The whole page is included in a vertical band, which is smaller than 800 pixels wide on a 800 px screen. This is surely an error, probably you intended it to be 800 px wide on a 1024 wide screen.

For Numsgil, about the organisms sharing: are you sure you can't set up a (confined) ftp space on the darwinbots server? It would be really cool (shouldn't affect traffic very much, organism files are tiny).
