I installed The news-flash-macro. It seems to work now... there were random "macro not found" messages, but now they disappeared.
Current test page: http://dev.orxonox.net/wiki/screenshots
@patrick: I would like to update the TracNav, but there is already an old version or something similar installed. I don't want to break anything...

@patrick:
Yeah, track has problems with the "chrome" plugin directory.
I installed the the NewsFlashMacro: "sudo easy_install TracNewsFlashMacro"
Now our page includes this file, which can't be acessed: http://dev.orxonox.net/chrome/newsflash ... sflash.css
[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/boenzlip/.python-eggs'
Plugins are stored in you local home directory? Trac is strange... plz help
EDIT: I already made a workaround. This problem is not visible to the public

thx!
@ all web site people! HELP NEEDED!
While we wait for the final header and while I fix some style bugs, you could start to move the content of our old website into the wiki. I created all the important pages. Feel free to copy content and extend them. Many links need to be fixed too (https -> http).

Unfortunately trac does not generate thumbnails, so the screenshot page could get quite big.
BTW: this page is new too: http://dev.orxonox.net/wiki/EngineFeatures

Most of the things are done now. Of course there are still a lot of details to add and change.
If you want to help improve the page you can do this like this:
Imagine you're a PPS student, a guy who just wants to play a game, somebody who heard the word "Orxonox" in the bus and searches in google for it. As this person try to browse the website to find out if your needs are met. If this is the case, no further improvement is necessary. If you find it hard to find certain informations, try to improve it, by simply changing the site.
@Patrick: One thing is left to be done. http://www.orxonox.net has yet to be redirected to the wiki. http://dev.orxonox.net could point on "../wiki/development" What do you think?
Also I think we have to start a new svn repository right?

It starts looking good, you're doing a great job
Most of what I've seen is already good, there are only a few points:
- Please remove that white-layer-crap and the fragment-boxes from the header (whatever that should have been, it doesn't look right)
- It works only with Firefox, please add support for Internet Explorer and Opera too (the pidgin website works with all browsers, maybe that helps)
- Insert a big fat "NEWS" title at the top of the news-section

What exactly is a fragment box? Do you mean the transparent white overlay at the top? It was actually supposed to be there...
The problem is that neither I or Nowic have IE on our ubuntu, so we haven't been able to test that yet.
Added the News title

"I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite forum on the internet."
Well, I've just invented that word. With "fragment box" I wanted to describe the little boxes all around "ORXONOX" (circle 1). Most of them are white, some are red, they look like really strange compression bugs, but I guess they are supposed to be there. It's just - I don't like them, it looks odd.
Circle 2 shows the white layer. In my opinion it's ugly, especially with those lines in it. It might look better when it's blurred, but I'd rather drop it completely.
But if you like it, then - of course - let it as it is, but if I was a random visitor I would be irritated.
Thanks for adding the News title, looks good now.
@browser: It might be sufficent to test it with Opera, I've experienced some parallels between Opera and Internet Explorer while working on my own page (at least the bug in the current code is the same in both browsers). If it works with Opera I'll have a look at it with IE and report you if it works.
Well it seemed to me we had agreed on this design earlier in the process and called a vote. If you don't like this blurred thing - I like it. I don't think we should changed just because you don't like it, but we could vote again on a few alternatives.

Well without anything up there it doesn't look so good anyways. We can redo the vote. Changing this is not that much of a problem, if enough people are unhappy with it.
The problem with IE is the following: IE does not support PNG-transparency which means, that those layers are completely f***ed up. I already sent Nowic pure sliced jpgs. Let's hope that this solves most of the problems.

Well, just to remind you:hofzge wrote:Well it seemed to me we had agreed on this design earlier in the process and called a vote. If you don't like this blurred thing - I like it. I don't think we should changed just because you don't like it, but we could vote again on a few alternatives.
I proposed 1 day before the "vote" (which wasn't actually a vote, the question was "What do you like better?") a design withouth the broad white band over "ORXONOX" (click), because most of you (including me) prefered a smaller header.
But the vote was only like "with or without opaque white band", there was no option "without any layer" although it was my first proposition, and - as you said - we agreed on "without", you're right, but I complained early about the white layer, so I'm feeling a bit ignored right now.
It might sound harsh when I call it "ugly", but I'm not the man for faked praise, I prefer criticism (you're welcome to criticise my work too), it helps more to achieve mayor improvements.
But if most of you like it, I'll accept that withouth complaints.
@beni: I think IE supports PNG trancparency since version 7, at least it looked like in Firefox, there was only a problem with the wiki-buttons, look here:

I really like the boarder like this, although it is true, that the the whole thing is a little bit to high and I would be on for a new VOTE with smaller borders anytime. (please support one with the current transparent layer, I really like it )
Anyways, the current one can't stay as is, as I have internet explorer 5 or something and it looks like this:
