STAR computing web pages are developed and
maintained by many STAR collaborators. Pages in the style of this one
were usually initially designed by Torre
Wenaus . Since 2002, they are maintained by Jerome Lauret unless
otherwise noted. If you maintain one of these pages, please declare
the fact in the header.
Development and maintenance of the computing web infrastructure is
by Jerome Lauret.
STAR collaborators are encouraged to modify and/or add
pages. Please let me know in general terms what you're doing. Let me
know of any access problems, space limitations etc. To gain ACL
access all you have to do is ask.
The
template for these pages is here. If you use it, edit the header
material appropriately. There are STAR
logos and other images in the images
directory.
Information
on the location of web files is here.
The following remark refers to web
pages in the style of this one. Important:
These web pages have been created as HTML sources. However, it
appears that the most recent WYSIWYG editors also do an acceptable
job in creating HTML. The computing homepage is one example. If you
modify computing web-pages, please either
edit these pages with a text editor or be very sure about
what you are doing or contact the Web Master for help.
Development tools used:
- The GNU emacs editor, which
includes an excellent HTML mode in recent versions. With the
ange-ftp extension for access to remote files, it works extremely
well for remote editing of web sites with no 'ftp upload' step
needed. Unix and Win95/NT.
- The HomeSite
HTML editor, now owned by Allaire, a great product for those who
prefer to work with HTML directly.
- Arachnophilia,
a good free ('careware') alternative to HomeSite. Both are Win95/NT
only.
- Microsoft Office 97 web publishing
tools for Excel, Powerpoint, Word
- Visio,
an excellent diagramming package
- NetMechanic.com
is a HTML and link testing facility useful for checking pages and
links.
- WS_FTP LE, an
excellent free FTP utility for Win95/NT.
