Important note

OBSOLETE: This wiki contains a lot of unmaintained outdated content. Some of these pages might be interesting but they might not reflect the current state of the code. Unless someone volunteers to clean this up, we should move all relevant information to the main infoarena2 wiki. We can disable the trac wiki and only use it as a bug-tracker and source viewer.

hackers @ infoarena

Hello, and welcome to the  infoarena development site! This is a  trac-based site with a wiki, bug tracker and subversion repository.

Even though infoarena is a Romanian project, we use only English throughout the source code, documentation and content on this site! This is because we consider English to be the natural language of coding.

Please note that this development wiki is in no way related to the content wiki for infoarena.

Important note: the project name is infoarena, with lower-case letters and NO DASH. The website is infoarena.ro because urls with dashes suck. Any other spelling is wrong.

NOTE: Unfortunately a lot of the pages on the wiki are horribly outdated here. They are marked with italic links. I went through TitleIndex and made sure everything we wrote is linked from this list (except for built-in trac docs).
