I've been hard at work for the last two weeks, adding some new
features to my website, and here they are in no particular order:
How-To database (http://www.delorie.com/howto/)
This is a place where users (that's you) can contribute short
documents telling people how to do specific things, sort of like
the Linux HOWTOs. None yet, so start sending them in! I may use
this for other categories of howtos, that's why it's not in the
djgpp area. At the moment, it has categories for djgpp, allegro,
and rhide.
The Delorie Software Bookstore (http://www.delorie.com/store/books/)
I've teamed up with both Computer Literacy and Amazon to bring you
a selection of books related to djgpp and gnu. When you buy books
through me, I get a percentage of the sale price, which helps
maintain the DJGPP web site. Let me know if you know of any books
I should add!
GNU documentation downloads (http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/)
When I convert the docs to html, I also convert them to dvi,
postscript, and two-up postscript. I provide these formats plus
the HTML and original texinfo in tar/gz files for download.
I also link to the appropriate book in the bookstore if you'd
rather have a real book instead of an electronic one.
A new search engine (http://www.delorie.com/search/)
This is similar to the engine used to do the existing mail archive
search, but it scans the whole site and uses a different algorithm
to rank keywords, so maybe it will be better for some people.
This engine covers the whole site, but you can choose among four
major sections to limit your search.
Faster server delivery
I've added mod-perl to my server, and the headers and trailers are
generated with that instead of an external program. What this
means is that static pages will be delivered to you a lot faster,
and my server will be able to handle a heavier load before bogging
down.
If you can think of anything else that might be useful to everyone who
visits www.delorie.com, please let me know!
