Website moved to git

[Tobi]

With a bit of help from BrainDamage I've moved the website into a git repository.

The repository is pretty much `ready to run' (pointing the DocumentRoot to wwwroot in the repository, creating a springpw.php similar to springpw_example.php, and filling a database (see below, I'm still working on this) should be sufficient.)

It should work on both Linux and Windows, although the latter is untested (but I didn't use symlinks, so I've good hope it works.)

It includes phpbb, mantis and mediawiki to ease managing mods/extensions to these parts of the site.

The repository is here:
http://github.com/spring/spring-website
git://github.com/spring/spring-website.git

Since this means I just replaced the entire website directory tree with a brand new checkout from git, there exists a chance something went missing. If you think you found such a thing, don't panic, but just let me know so I can fix it.

If you have cloned (forked on github) the repository and made some cool modifications, please let me know in the lobby or by forum PM, then I'll see if they're worth merging etc.

I'll be working on a sample database/dataset to use with this so you don't have to fill this in by hand. (I guess this would be the most probematic part currently when setting up local development copy of the site.)

Have fun coding :idea:

Is really the entire website in the git repo?

When I worked on the wiki I always had to copy some files from the svn tree to a separate dir.
Duno why but perhaps it was cause of safety reasons?

PS: IIRC the mediawiki files weren't linked to the svn tree.

In SVN neither mediawiki nor SVN nor phpBB were in the repository.

The only file that is not in it currently is springpw.php (though the example file springpw_example.php), which is the only file that should contain secret stuff like database login details.

I'm not counting of course uploaded files (phpBB files, avatars, and mediawiki images), though these shouldn't be necessary to run the site. I'll probably include a subset of these once I make some dataset, so that you get at least some nice pictures on frontpage and media page in a development copy
