Next Wulfram Website

Priorities

1. Get new forums usable enough for a switch-over.
• Re-introduce non-ajax links for better history and linking-stuff
• Administration of the forums -- (implement better user-roles instead of name tags -- see below)
2. User role administration
• Make a role table where you can assign various roles to the person: a person has_many roles
3. Allow people to make accounts from new website (maybe need to back-fill old website generation just so we can rely on that old website functionality for a while longer)
4. Convert donoations into memeberships and integrate paypal IPN into the new website. This is a big-todo: Allow people to fund Wulfram a specific account and let user distribute wulfram credits to more than 1 account.
5. User links currently loaded into a new reference / URL. Could use ajax and floating window for that instead

Development Status

• TODO: Found out there is a bug with the current play-now page for IE6... probably due to the formatting.
• Added edit / reply buttons to the bottom for each post. These buttons look too prominent at the moment, but the functionality is there. What's kind of neat about is that the reply box opens up right where you're though is in terms of the reply. Thought the new post will show up at the bottom of the thread.
• TODO: Currently the forums don't do paging...

• Added edit button for forums -- currently admins can't (yet) edit other peoples posts.
• Added a quick proof-of-concept game list. This will need a lot of work...
• Added the web-launching functionality to the proof-of-concept game list
