DISCUSS: New XBMC Website & New Domain (XBMC.ORG)

**pike** · 2008-02-10, 14:13

Quote:

This brand new website has been developed by Granqvist and co-developed by DarkDonno. Chokemaniac made the graphics.
It's been in development for 2 years, and it's "mostly" finished. Much content is unpolished, incidentally this was why we requested a 'content master' a while back, but we never got a suitable candidate for the job. This position is still very much unfilled.

We will also use a new domain from now on, XBMC.ORG which we got from our french teammember Modhack (he's now relocated to XBMC.FR).
Please don't try and use XBMC.COM as this domain is owned by none other than Randy Saaf of MediaDefender (!).
Our old domain xboxmediacenter.com will continue to function, and emails will arrive regardless of used domain.

If you want to help this site by filling it with uptodate content, contact one of the Projectmanagers

Feel free to discuss this newsitem in this thread

Great work! I really like the new website design and layout. But i am missing the search form in the wiki

**donno** · 2008-02-10, 15:31

VDRfan: yeh im going to add a Search button to the 'Toolbox' at the bottom of the page.
We previously had a Search Textbox/form on the right but it looked crap, mucked up content. and end of the day the search on mediawiki isn't all that powerful its usually easier to google.

Wow, i really like it too. Looks very nice. Surprised to see the older XBMC logo used though. Looks commercialized with new look overall. Went to check on something in wiki instructions, and was like "WOW, that looks great!!!" when i saw the new design. Great job!!! Glad to know that xboxmediacenter.com will still work, so used to going to that.

I love the new website so much easier to navigate to find things and I love the whole history section explaining how XBMC got to were it is today.
Delighted to see this great project moving always in the right direction. Thanks to all the XBMC crowd for giving me the best free software I have ever used ever seriously!!!!

New site looks great!

Just a small note, the header is only partially displayed in Firefox 3 Beta 2 (on Windows atm). Could be Firefox as the html/css looked alright to me, but I just wanted to give you a heads up.

I'm seeing the truncated header image in FF3b2 on Windows as well, but I can see the full image in IE7 (eww).

Also, I would LOVE to see an rss feed for the news section!

Other than that, the site looks great, keep up the good work!
