Dear CAElinux users,

These last days have been a real pain for us:
the whole CAElinux.com & CAElinux.org websites have been migrated recently by our webhost to a new server with shining new versions of PHP-MySQL. Nice, but... this migration completely broke down the website as the good old Mambo/Simpleboard components used previously proved to be no more compatible with the current PHP-MySQL standards.

 So we add to migrate all the website (in a hurry) to a more "up-to-date" system; which process turned out to be really complicated due to the large gap of versions to be covered by the update.

But finally, here it is: CAElinux is now running on a much more recent base of Joomla / Joomlaboard servers and normally all the data should have been kept during the transfer.

We will need your help to make sure that everything is running properly again. So if you see someting strange, please send us an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Thank you all for your understanding, and we hope that we will receive the new download mirror soon in order to release CAELinux 2007.

Regards,

Joël Cugnoni

Dear CAELinux Users & possible Contributors,

A brand new collaborative Wiki / Community portal is up and running now at http://www.caelinux.org/wiki .
This site is powered by the WikiMedia engine, the same Wiki system used in http://www.wikipedia.com!!

The scope of this collaborative site is to promote the sharing of knowledge & experience in the CAELinux community by allowing everyone to add its own content in a simple and efficient manner.

This Wiki is free to read, but requires an account to edit the pages. Account creation is free and not regulated.

We have tried to create an initial structure for the site, so please try to respect it when editing the content:
There are 2 general sections (called namespace in Wiki)
1) Documentation section (pages named like Doc:MyDoc)
2) Projects section (pages named like Proj:MyProject)

At the moment, there are nearly no documents in the Wiki, but documentation, utilities & tutorials will be added soon.

Additionnally, for all of you discovering the page editing in Wiki, please practice in the Sandbox section and try to read the help pages before modifying any page of the site.

This Wiki will not be only managed by CAELinux team but is also your website, so we hope that the community will take the lead and that this collaborative Wiki will serve as an efficient platform for the development of the CAELinux community!!

... So now it's your turn to make the things move !!

Good luck and feel free to ask is something is not working well.

PS: file upload is enabled in this Wiki, allowed file type are 'png', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'doc', 'xls', 'ppt', 'ods', 'odt', 'pdf', 'zip', 'gz' & 'rar'
