SOFA gets a brand-new design !
2015 is the year of modernization for SOFA with a new website and a new logo !First, this website has been designed to ease the use of SOFA, especially for new users. The download page clearly explains the first steps to follow. The Wiki gathers all information needed to install and start using SOFA. Finally, a forum has been set up so that SOFA user can easily post their questions and access previous solved issues.
This new platform is also the opportunity to improve the communication within the SOFA community. First, the forum will become the main tool to get help from the SOFA community. The SOFA team will only be available per email for specific requests, namely the access to specific plugins, proposals of partnerships, or code sharing. Any other issue may be sent through the forum. Second, the website now provides news about SOFA and about the different events around our simulation platform. With this new design, the access to all our work and publications based on SOFA is also eased.
The last and new feature of this website is a quick access to the build information. A widget is now available on the front page giving a short view of the build status.
Well, a lot of changes ! Isn’t it ?
We hope you will like it !The old site had lots of forum discussions with very valuable info especially from past developers responding to questions. Any chance of putting that up again so it can be searched?
Request a way to PM someone. Can only do the public @name thing from the profile page. Will the @name message be sent to the users hidden email address or do they have to be on the RSS feed to get it? Anyway like other forums it should be easy to message someone and if they do not want to recieve messages they can just opt out.
Dear Andrey,
The previous website of SOFA had no forum. Maybe you meant the archives of the deprecated “Sofa-user” mailing-list. I had a reference to it in the Forum page. About the old-wiki of SOFA, all valuable informations have been transferred to this website. If any information is missing on the website (I am sure there is), please let us know by posting a question on the forum. It is far from being perfect and we know it, we are working on it as much as we can.
No PM are enabled for the moment. I just checked: when using the @name the message is well sent to the user’s hidden email.
Would this option be crucial for you ?Thank you for your feedback.
Hugo
