10:00.38 MinuteElectron brlcad: Everything on the site except the few html things have been moved to the wiki.
10:31.20 MinuteElectron I set up the gallery module, but I am not sure it works exactly as I expected.
10:31.57 MinuteElectron So everything has been moved AFAICS.
10:34.18 MinuteElectron I guess my work is done, for now. When you get back can you identify antyhing else regarding the website that needs doing before it can be moded over,
10:34.21 MinuteElectron Thanks.

11:10.12 fleeky hi
11:10.39 fleeky brlcad although i am not a coder i might be able to get interested some coders to work on the interface
11:11.19 fleeky do you have any documentation as to the code for the interface and also the fundamental problems that need to be addressed before further stuff can be changed?
11:11.46 fleeky anything kindof info like this i might be able to pass on to my coder friends to see if they wouldnt mind tackling a few problems
12:21.29 *** join/#brlcad elite01 (n=elite01@dslb-088-070-000-161.pools.arcor-ip.net)
14:24.27 ``Erik hm, png 1.2.20 came out
14:28.32 brlcad yeah, a few days ago .. but it's just code-cosmetic according to their release notes
14:29.37 ``Erik freshmeat blurb says the asm was removed
14:35.20 brlcad fleeky: i'll see if I can find the pointers to some documentation, though some of the fundamental issues are thinly documented as they are long-standing problems that can be summarized fairly quickly
14:37.13 brlcad amount to fininishing the implementation of spline surface breps, finishing the implicit-to-brep conversion hooks for each primitive, implementing brep csg evaluation, then implementing brep-to-faceets
14:43.13 brlcad that's pretty much it in a statement, those four steps are needed in order to just display implicit geometry in an explicit format (for petty lil things like displaying via opengl) with anything other than simplified wireframes
15:24.35 fleeky i dont know if i can find programmers to fix problems like that .. but i might be able to find some people that will work on the interface
15:24.42 fleeky does it matter if the code is c or c++ ?
15:24.48 fleeky can it be both ?
15:26.19 brlcad the new interface is intently going to be primarily c++
15:26.37 brlcad so yeah, both
15:27.36 brlcad there's also work that can go into the interface independently, so yeah there's still plenty to be done that they could probably help out with if they don't have a solid geometry or graphics background
15:33.59 fleeky ahk
15:34.35 fleeky well if you get some info together i will try to pass it on to someoen who will work on it

20:01.59 MinuteElectron thanks.
20:03.35 brlcad thank you, this is really great progress
20:04.41 MinuteElectron s/moded/moved
20:04.51 MinuteElectron brlcad: my pleasure
20:05.47 MinuteElectron :)
21:18.20 brlcad http://my.brlcad.org/wiki/Website
21:21.18 louipc there's something funky looking in firefox
21:21.49 louipc top menu (support, development, documentation) is all bunched together
21:30.01 louipc right above the top search box: http://louipc.dontexist.org/screenie.jpg
21:40.10 brlcad does the main page look like that too?
21:41.19 louipc indeed
22:00.05 brlcad hm, something wrong with the css then, or something wrong with that version of firefox
22:00.25 ``Erik doesn't look like that for my firefox
22:00.32 ``Erik but when I bump the text size up, it starts looking bad
22:00.48 ``Erik <-- 2.0.0.6 mac
22:03.45 louipc i have 2.0.0.6 linux
22:05.24 brlcad issues resizing larger is expected, the menubar doesn't presently expand vertically
22:13.17 brlcad louipc: how does the footer look for you?
22:14.57 louipc looks ok but I don't get the rounded edge at the bottom of search area
22:15.25 louipc yeah looks like some css incompatibilities
