Stratagus Website

This thread is dedicated to the Stratagus website, which I am now updating. Hopefully when it is done it'll let you upload files, edit wiki pages and all that.

Sounds cool

Okay, you should all now be able to login using your forum username and password. Everything you want is located under Community, you can create groups and upload documents. I'm still trying to figure out the wiki.

The problem with wordpress is that stuff you post on it becomes property of them.

[Kyran]

Our Wordpress is located on the Stratagus server, not the Wordpress server.

Does it use a different licensing agreement?

[Kyran]

Our version of Wordpress is GPLv2.

Does content published with WordPress also inherits GPL?

No, you are entitled to license your content any way you like. Unless the content you are publishing is actually a derivative work of WordPress or any other GPL licensed work. For example, if you are writing a blog post showing people how to use a WordPress function with examples, then that particular blog post could be licensed differently. But the code used in examples is actually derivative work and automatically inherits the GPL license.

The wikis are now working on the website, and I've updated the theme. How does it look?

I'm not a big fan of wiki's, but it looks as good as any IMO. The banner in the main page is nice, but would be nicer if the banner changed to match each section (eg. doomwars banner for doom wars section, etc.). I saw the part in the wiki that discussed "walls as units", would that be used for unit formations?

[Kyran]

Walls are currently hardcoded. The idea would be to turn walls into units, like other buildings.

This information is really ancient, I added support for "walls as units" in Stratagus 1.5 years ago Upcoming Doom Wars release will introduce them as a new feature (the walls now able to block most of the projectiles, thus becoming a more serious defensive structure, than they were in Warcraft)
