Brian,
yes exactly. There is a new property that defines if a project is using
verilog or vhdl. I don't know exactly what are Miha's plans to fill out
these properties for all projects, but basically either do it manually or
use a script to go over all cvs projects and check if they use verilog or
vhdl. That would probably be the fastest otherwise developers will never
define their language for their current projects... Miha I think it would be
best to have a script that checks the cvs and does it automatically -- and
not only once but maybe now and then because for example one project might
start as verilog and later somebody does a port to vhdl and if originally
marked as verilog only, it will not show under vhdl. So maybe once per day
the script goes over each project's cvs and checks what kind of files are
there... Obviously there also has to be value for a property that indicates
vhdl+verilog for those projects that have a port of core in each language...
Maybe there should also be a value for "other language" that would indicate
neither verilog nor vhdl was used...

regards,
Damjan

I like the look.  I really do, but I do want to let you know about a bug.
When I go to the projects and I select

When I select the drop down menus as either of the "written in Verilog" or
the "written in VHDL", I get no cores.  Maybe the admins of the projects
need to fill in some info for this to work.

I'm using konqueror 3.2 on linux 2.6.2 and Gentoo.

Other than that, it looks great.

Subject: [oc] IMPORTANT new opencores web site

Hey Folks !

It finally happened! OpenCores web site has a new look and feel. Check it
out, it is great ! http://www.opencores.org

Some features of the new site:
- modern&fresh look&feel
- much better organized (allows to more quickly find what you need)
- much easier to edit web content (login and then just click on the Edit
icon)
- content updated (some old content removed, non working links removed)
- project browsing/sorting upgraded, added download rating to projects
- cvs write access limited per project (maintainer gives access to its
projects to other developers, IMPORTANT please read
http://www.opencores.org/cvs.shtml because CVSROOT changed !)

Credits go to opencores web master. Miha if I forgot any of the new features
please add to the list. And all out there if you like or dislike some part
of the new site, please let us all know. Together we can make OpenCores
better !

Now it is time to start with more content and developer/user services
related upgrades of the site. First some new developer services will be
added and also obsolete projects will be removed. A second server will be
put on line that will make sure that the main web server doesn't get stuck
at night when some background jobs are running (particulary when several
downloads get started and tar/gzip are running in multiple processes causing
significant load on the current server - this hopefully will become thing of
the past).
New services for developers will be added. As first service I have the
pleasure to introduce Novas nLint tool to become part of the cvs commit
procedure. Whenever you will commit your VHDL or Verilog files into the cvs,
if enabled by your project settings, nLint will perform linting according to
OpenCores Coding Guidelines and send you an email with the report (report
emails will be configurable in your project's settings so don't worry). This
means much more uniform coding style accross different projects, less bugs,
more compatible projects with ASIC guidelines (that will be easier to
integrate into SoCs), better Q&A resulting in more users, more users more
credibility etc. For all those that haven't seen Novas nLint in action - I
promise you, you will not be disappointed ! (I expect the nLint to become
operational within a week or so, I have to write nLint rules file)

regards,
Damjan
