cocos2d-iphone new site

If you are reading this post, then you probably know that cocos2d for iPhone has a new homepage:

http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org

In this new site you will find:

The new wiki replaces the :

The new blog replaces the old SapusMedia blog. The SapusMedia blog will continue exists, but only with news related to Sapus Media. The new blog, will only have news related to cocos2d for iPhone

The new forum replaces the old Google Group forums. The Google Groups lists were very useful, but unfortunately Google, mistankely,  started to mark the cocos2d-iphone-discuss group as Spam.  Currently the group is not marked as spam, so you can search all the past discussions without problem: http://groups.google.com/group/cocos2d-iphone-discuss/topics

But although the new site has all the information in just one site, it is not so well integrated.

  • The forum (bbPress), the blog (Wordpress) and the wiki (dokuwiki) have different themes
  • The wiki users are not integrated with the blog/forum users

If you are interested in helping to fix any of these issues, please read this post: css/php designed needed. Thanks.
