Team 1280 - The Raging Seabiscuits

Probably the most difficult site I've ever worked on. Everything was custom scripted by us- the cms, forum and blog, authentication system, web2.0 features...

Well over 600 hours of work, with at least a hundred more coming for a full-fledged web2.0 gallery that I just couldn't meet the submission deadline with. Proud to have possibly the most professionally made, completely student-scripted site in the competition. I haven't come across anything close to the level of quality achieved here, but if you think you're site does, please let me know :)

Glad it made the top10 on FIRSTtopsite within half a month. I really want to release the cms for other teams to use, but i licensed my portion (Scribe - CMS,Forum) under the OSI3 and Ben, the other webmaster, licensed his (Kure- Blogging engine) under the GNU. This means that we can't release it as a single package.

Anyway enough babbling, i just wanted to get some opinions on the site. The thread preview pane is the most worrisome feature, i haven't tested it in safari but hopefully it works fine. even with css turned off the forum degrades very nicely and is very readable. i tested every page with a screenreader to see what the experience would be like for a blind person, and they should have no trouble enjoying the site like able-bodied users.

Now I need to populate it with good content. *tsk*
