Hi all,
In preparation for a new release of FLAC, I scraped the FLAC website
on sourceforge and commited it to a git repo here:
https://git.xiph.org/?p=flac-website.git;a=summary
Commits to that repo get synched every 10 minutes of so to show up here:
https://www.xiph.org/flac/
I'll be hacking the website over the coming days and weeks. If anyone
wants help, please let me know.
Once we get the web site to a suitable state we'll sk Josh Coalson to
set up a redirect at the old http://flac.sourceforge.net/ web site
to this new one. We will then be ready to do a new release.
Cheers,
Erik

I can't read russian, but that part of the website seems pretty outdated, mentioning FLAC 1.1 as the last news item? I guess I would like to update the news section with a few items (I guess that's what makes a website looks 'fresh', I would love to make FLAC look like an active project :)) but it has to be updated in 4 different sections: 2 times on the homepage, once on the newspage and one in the RSS-feed. Wasn't there any scripting behind the original website? Is it possible to add some? I guess the RSS stream could be formatted in a certain way to display it on both the homepage and the news page, but that would require some Javascript I guess. Any thoughts?

I assume so. The API docs come from doxygen. I'm going to attempt to regenerate them on the weekend (and fix all the doxygen problems that have arisen since 2009).> Is it possible to add some?I think thats a great idea. WOuld be happy to have someone pick this up and run with it.> I guess the RSS stream could be > formatted in a certain way to display it on both the homepage and the > news page, but that would require some Javascript I guess. > > Any thoughts?As long as I don't have to write Javascript, I'm happy :-).
