These are the files that can be deleted:

Code:
  `in /
  home_ds.html`

Code:
  `in images/
  bg_rev2.jpg - Better redo of the pastel geometric pattern You might want to keep it elsewhere.
  ds_wallpaper.jpg - Not used on the site but you might want to offer it for folks to use.
  refracta_old.png - An experiment. just delete.`

Code:
  `in screens/
  Screenshot_installer_option.jpg - File renamed but this one not deleted.`

Oh, last night I missed the message before your last one. I did notice the home_ds.html link, and I fixed all the files at once with

Code:
  `sed -i 's/home_ds.html/index.html/g' *.html`

Easy peasy. Did the other cleanup, too, except for Screenshot_installer_option.jpg, which is the replacement file I gave you - you did that exactly right. (The other one with the same name has some options checked on it.)
Not sure what the problem was with the border at the bottom, but it's there now. Maybe my mouse is dying. I'll try the replacement .css file just to see what it does. Making minor edits on the files in a text editor is easy - that was my biggset worry. And, it turns out I can keep a local mirror of the web folder and rsync back and forth.
Did not remove debianhelp.co.uk from the resources page. According to this page, they were still up a few days ago. I hope they come back. http://thedomainfo.com/debianhelp.co.uk/
If anyone wants to contribute new wallpapers, I'll gladly make a new folder for them. (Hey nadir, give huggy a poke on that if you see him.) I could probably even figure out how to adapt the screenshot page to show thumbs of the extra wallpapers.

If you mean huggybear (?): i haven't seen him in ages, since he left debianuserforums in fury (as a guy called americunt was banned for his username ... ).
I think often of him (as one of his scripts is in my bin), and think he might be using Suse.
I think kelsoo does a few wallpapers these days (for dragora). If i meet him i will has him if he is interested (assuming i understood you correct).
This is what my notes say about thumbnail which points to fullsize:
<a href="pictures/d) screenshots/compiz-cube.png"><img src="thumbnails/d) screenshots/compiz-cube.png" alt="Desciption"></a>
both, folder pictures and folder thumbnails is in images/ which is in /var/www (duh).
This is how it would look like (so you can check if that is what you want at all):

The new site looks good and i am happy it is finnaly up and running (at least in my eyes):

You are just too clever to do that from command line. But you'll have to change the 'home' link in the Release Notes too - that script didn't catch it and now the link is broken. Sorry for the bad advice re: the image. And I thought that refracta2.css wasn't needed but it is the css for the Release Notes! So you'll have to add it back in. I put it back on the test site so you can go grab it. I'll go stand in a corner now . . .

Now you see it, now you don't! That's just weird. When the markup is clean and uncluttered, it's easy to find where to make changes. I see you also made descriptive improvements to the Downloads page. Much better. And you've figured out how to work locally and rsync to the server. It's your baby now and in good hands. If you need anything major, just let me know.

Changes done, thanks! If you need a reference or testimonial from a happy client, I'd be glad to do it.

WOW! That was fast! Hopefully we've caught everything. And thanks for the appreciation.
Now . . . what about Wikipedia which is how this thread started 24 pages ago. Refracta really should have a mention there. I forget who started the idea but it is a good one.

I'm not opposed to the idea of having a wikipedia entry. How does that happen?

At another wiki i do it like this:
create an account
go to an existing but similar site and click on edit
copy all syntax
create a new site, usually by simply entering the URL, say
wiki.debian.org/BrandNewFoo
I will be asked if i want to create said site, as it doesn't exist.
I say "yup" (and choose empty page)
I paste what i have copied and edit it accordingly.
As a wiki is a team work, it will be checked and corrected by others.
If you make changes make sure to add a comment what you edited (for clarity / others)
Some syntax is not easy. Check empty spaces at the end of beginning of a line, if all looks similar but the result is different.
-
Just some hints. Like said: i am not happy if i have to do it, and if so i use copy/paste/curses.

Refracta should at least be included on these two pages:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison ... tributions
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_family#Debian-based
Creating an entry specifically for Refracta would be a bit more complicated but most of the content was worked out at the beginning of the thread. I do hope someone will take it on.
