The LDGC now boasts some new features listed here:
Almost everything can be maintained via web forms. That of
course means that we don't have to fiddle around with HTML source as
much as before (and therefore we can do more work in less time), but it
also means that everyone can now add content to the site! In
plain english: You can directly submit a news item (e.g. announcing the
new version of your game) or a resource link (e.g. to your cool
homepage) simply by clicking on the "Submit" links on the top of the
page and filling out the form.
We now have user accounts, together with a proper
permission handling etc. This allows us to appoint section maintainers
simply by setting their permissions to "maintainer" - much simpler and
safer than the old way (giving them r/w access to the entire site). It
also allows for such things like letting you set your default site
design, easily subscribe to news digest mails etc (later...).
(Almost) everything is databased, so things like different sorting
styles, searching for items based on everything-you-can-imagine,
massive crossreferencing etc are relatively easy (we just need someone
to write the web frontent for these ops ;)
