So you want to become a builder? Great! If you really want to help us
and you've got some time to spare, we can use your help!
What's a builder?
A builder (remember Lemmings?) are dedicated people, dedicated in improving
this website and dedicated in writing documentation. Always wanted to assist
a webmaster ? Wanted to know the inners of HTML, PHP or database-enabled
websites. This might be a great opportunity to meet some of the best ;))
But remember the content and userfriendliness come first.
Learn to walk, before you run!
Something very important to learn first is
CVS, Concurrent Versions
System. This 'system' enables us to work with different people on one
project. We use it, so you better learn to work with it.
The site is constructed in such way, that you don't have to care about the
layout or HTML. Instead you only focus on the content. Ofcourse you can still
build some nifty database-stuff, or do whatever you like, but in most cases
you won't need to. That's explained in the Structure-section.
Finally we'll show you some examples of existing pages, to show what really is
important.
And last, but not least, some guidelines to make sure everything is nice in
place and to check if it really works.
