> 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.
