Javascript-Channel.com

Yes, we’ve updated the look, feel and structure of the javascript-channel.com website. As you can plainly see, the main page is now a blog. The wiki is still here, and easily accessible at javascript-channel.com/wiki and the sidebar to your right. All previous content has been maintained but obviously any bookmarks you had that linked directly to previous wiki pages will be broken and need to be updated.

I’ll admit that the transition isn’t complete just yet. After sitting on this theme for four months, I have to say it’s damn ugly! And the wiki theme is even uglier! I’ll be switching soon to something that isn’t as hard on they eyes, probably something more minimalistic from the awesome plaintxt.org.

So why the swich? Firstly because we switched hosting providers. The channel site is now hosted by the rubylicious textdrive.com so that we can offer a more stable and reliable site. Secondly, because the tools we were using previously lacked certain features, such as security, the ability for people to easily provide code, and a place to provide news and JavaScript related information. The new wiki is a lot more code friendly than the previous wiki, you should be able to just paste JS or HTML code directly into <pre> tags and have it look decent. No more need to escape stuff. We’re also able to implement security to the wiki so that only channel ops can modify pages, if necessary.

So sit back and enjoy the changes. Like I said, we’ll update the look real soon, in the meantime, we’d love to hear what you have to say!
