After a few days in which the site has been out of line or directly down, I have been able to leave it a acceptable state of operation. As it is evident a lot of things has changed; to summarize a bit:
- Has been changed the web design, incorporating a little more modern and hopefully functional look.
- The internationalization has been fully added; there are still remaining some parts of the interface to translate from English into Spanish, but is now virtually complete. Besides the interface, some content is published in several languages at once, initially in Spanish and English. In the language selector, if you switch to another and there is a translation of content, this will also switch; for the moment it will only affect the numismatic section, where I will be gradually translating existing content and issuing new simultaneously in both languages.
- I introduced a series of changes in the internal struture of the site that are not visible, but I hope it will improve server performance and pages load times, apart to simplify the management of the system.
- I created a fairly long list of additions and changes to be made, that I will go gradually introducing into the system in the coming months; that will be announced according its activation times.
- Although it was added some time ago, I advertise it now: anyone can login to the system using OpenID; for the moment it will only serve to post comments identified in an unambiguous manner, but when the forum will be ready it will be needed to register or log in via OpenID to use it.
I hope all this will result in a higher quality site; during the next few days it may come to light some problems arising from the change to the structure of the site; I do not expect anything of importance, so I will be solving it according to its surfacing. For my part I hope to increase my participation in the site; my goal is to publish a couple of times per week at least, mostly in the numismatic section, but I hope to resume the military section and see if I have room for a couple of ideas.
