Paprika release at 18:50 UTC by Abula
After two years and 2000 hours (ok, I didn't count) and here we are. Paprika is up and running. Some people have known about it, some might have guessed something's going on, others might have not.
Paprika is the code name for the latest version of Moposite, its coding was started in the summer of 2004, while Abula was still in the army. At the moment, Paprika isn't even near to being complete, but we were still able to publish it now (user managing is working quite well and the basic structure to build on is there). This news will only cover a few of the more important things and the full, more detailed, list will be published at a later time.
- Elasto Mania 1.2 is released
- News section is totally renewed, it's much easier to use for news writers but it also supports comments, categories, filters and priorities - which will be explained thoroughly later on
- Panel: log in by using your Kuski gallery account information, you can edit some settings; if you have forgotten your password you must wait a bit; we will start the user managing in a few days time
- New main page for first-time visitors (it's only shown for visitors who are not logged in so click Remember me if you want to enter the News page directly instead of Main page when surfing to Moposite)
- Knowledge is a new main section, quite alot new material there
- Information section is fully updated
- The layout is tweaked and links are a bit more clever - eventhough they might be a bit confusing at first
- Administration has been made better and easier
For the time being, there aren't too many obvious changes around here, if you compare it to the two years it's taken us to get to this point. That's because we had to design and code the basics very carefully to make developing of the site easier in the future. New sections and features will be introduced as they are completed. The next major change will be to give a facelift to Kuski gallery and other community pages. That will include a much nicer user managing both for admins and visitors.
Bug reports are more than
welcome.
People who have been or still are a part of this project:
Abula and Viper_KillerGuy - both have put alot of time and effort into the coding and obviously Abula being the leader of the whole project; Sathy -
the editor, feedback; Zebra - Designing section; BarTek - Welcome pictures; skint0r - code support, feedback; SveinR, px, Tisk and Luther some minor tasks.

you know I've been waiting for paprika for about a year now, and I just hope this is only the beginning of new stuff to come ;-)

Yes I think it's quite confusing when I cannot even see where they are located?
ps. Very cool favicon! Me likes.

You cannot see where are the links? Hint: they are underlined.
I don't mean Links section but links in general.

Ok then, but then I guess I should ask you what is so confusing about the links then, but somehow I have a feeling it's not appropriate.

There are links that are not underlined (Menu, above logo) and links that are dot underlined (Glossary items). If you hold mouse on a link, it might tell something more.
