Those pages are auto-generated and you can find everything website related here: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/blends/website.git The Debian Games Blend is maintained at http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/blends/projects/games.git This repository contains the "raw" information, so what game or tool belongs to what task. I really like the modern HTML5/Bootstrap design and I'm already using it for one of my own private projects. +1 from me > - When you choose a theme it gets applied to all pages through a > Javascript-placed cookie.

Yeah, that was just an idea. I wouldn't mind if users were able to modify the stylesheets later but of course we should find a sane default theme. If in doubt let's stick with Bootstrap's white default theme for the moment. You can't go wrong with that. > In the end we'll make the server directly provide the stylesheets > though (instead of relying on Javascript on a per-page basis). Good idea. Having the server deliver and caching the static content is better for the performance anyway. [...] > I totally agree on the contest idea.

But then I'm all for a simple static page with rules and a huge countdown. :) > > Finally, as the complexity (and page number) of this site grows, I > start to wonder how would it be implemented on the back-end. > > I suppose all the other Debian pages uses PHP, so I'd like to know > more about the server-side API that gets information from the > Bugs/Track/Tasks/Wiki pages. > As soon as I get that I can upload the site and model it to show > real-time information on the Games Team. The back-end is mostly written in Python and it uses UDD extensively. But others here on the list are more familiar with it. https://wiki.debian.org/UltimateDebianDatabase So all in all it looks very promising :) Cheers Markus
