when that happens, maybe it will be time to move that project to SourceForge

As usual, jobs and other real-world stuff delayed us, but we finally have at least the framework of a site and wanted to ask everyone to pay us a quick visit.

That's a great step forward, thank you very much.

You could even integrate the wiki in a framed layout:
   <http://www.wikiservice.at/wiki4d/wikiframe.cgi>

Layout could be adapted to fit.

It may not matter to you, but you should know that your site fails
miserably with the Opera 5  browser -- it displays only the tabs, and
nothing else.
Opera 5 is rather old, and often displays pages a little differently than
newer browsers, but this is the first site I have seen that doesn't
display at all

It works fine with Opera 7. Maybe it's time to upgrade ;).

Upgraded to Opera 7. Didn't work, Fatal errors. Moreover it
converted my Opera 5 from registered to adware.
Opera support no help with either problem.

I also use FireFox so Its not fatal.  On the other hand, it means that
dsource.com is doing something different than 99% of the sites
out there. (Some undocumented feature? etc.)
Being the !only site to break !any browser would worry me.

Hmmmmm.... I look at it the other way.  Of all the browsers out there, yours appears to be the only one that doesn't work.  Mozilla/Firefox is one of the most standards compliant of browsers and works just fine at dsource.org (and many, many other sites). So do most of its derivatives: Epiphany, Konquerer, etc. It appears that the Opera browser is not up to standards or is buggy, if it doesn't work.

As for standards, it was my understanding that on the internet, such things are rather hit and miss.  For quite a few years, many websites were designed to operate with MS Internet Explorer only, a far from standards-compliant web-browser (but used by the majority of web surfers).

I say stick with firefox.

Opera 7 works fine here.  Site looks great.

Karl,

It matters quite a bit that someone cannot use the site.  No matter the browser, we want the content to be accessible.  There will be more browsers in the future, mostly mobile, so we want everyone to have access.  For this reason, we will most likely shy away from ActiveX, Flash, Shockwave, Java applets, etc.

Our goal was to be XHTML 1.0-compliant, and I checked our home page at the validator:

http://validator.w3.org

Sure enough, I had omitted all of the </li> tags from the lists.  We are now compliant on the home page.  I'm not sure if this matters to Opera 5, or if that browser is even capable of XHTML 1.0, but give it another try.  I will change the other pages in a day or so, and validate them all.

Thanks for the info.

BA
