Re: Who is working on their team site over the summer?

I was going to mention this, but didn't see this thread for some reason.

Thanks Tiff for mentioning, but I will add to it. There are several projects that we want to work on over the summer and maybe into the fall. The third one may be a good idea for other team's websites, or any website.

** scouting
One major one, for those teams that were ever in a match with us, know of our scouting system, which this year became very well known. It is a "Poor-man's scouting system" and has proven to work very well. One of our team members, who made our famous scouting cards, posted it on chiefdelphi as a white paper. I would like to make next year's available on our website with a full step-by-step tutorial and additional tips for scouting. This may be a very useful resource for many teams. We are still organizing this to see if we can do it.

** new skins
I just finished two new skins today and they are up. http://spamrobotics.com/ One is the graphical version and the other, with a link to it at the top of every page, is a text-based version that should load much faster and be more browser-friendly.

** shared content system
Every time I redo the website, I had to copy and paste page after page so I could set up the new site without affecting the old one. This time, I made a more efficient system. I made two folders on the server, skins and content. In skins I put a folder for each skin. Inside that folder, I put an index file, a file for every page, a stylesheet, and image files for graphics. In the folder content, I put a file for each piece of information that would be the same in each skin. I have files like news, copyright, sponsors, history, etc. When I want to use content, I use the php include command to include it. Basically, I made a system of skins and seperated the content. It is very efficient for me and I recommend other people doing it, for those of you who don't.

** other features
We have a list of other ideas of features to add and things to make better.

** website team partnerships
One idea I had was to work on a project between teams. I know that some teams already do this for different things, but I wanted to start a project that other teams could help with. I was thinking of asking some teams known in osme way for scouting to help with the scouting system tutorial. If anyone is interested in helping with any project, let me know.
