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*
