I assume so. The API docs come from doxygen.

I'm not sure why there are two boxes displaying the same news on the homepage right now, so I made two screenshots of possible designs, one which keeps both boxes and one that moves everything to the sidebar. I've enlarged the sidebar a bit in both. http://www.icer.nl/images/ktf/flac-website-both.png http://www.icer.nl/images/ktf/flac-website-sidebar.png The design changed a little because I couldn't get everything exactly the same, which I assume isn't much of a problem. Anyway, I've updated the feed from the ancient atom format to the now standard RSS 2.0 spec, made some XSL-files to transform this feed to different lay-outs and googled some javascript to embed it into the website and added some search results for 'FLAC-news' :) Any thoughts about this lay-out? :)
Sorry, for the late repsonse Martijn. I've been crazy busy. Martijn van Beurden wrote:> On 28-08-12 10:46, Erik de Castro Lopo wrote: > > I think thats a great idea.

Either way, good to get the site active again. Richard.
