The web was created because we believe that we have something to publish. The main reason was the MLAB project. It is some sort of construction kit or electronic "lego". MLAB modules proved useable so well that we whish to share it with the others.
Everything about MLAB (documentation, design files etc.) and a lot of other things. Some articles about electronics. Everything is original written by our authors.
Several keen electronics and hobbyists. Our hobby is our job as well. The web and MLAB project are noncommercial and they are created in authors free time (an important information for critics).
Well. We are continuously working on the web design and on the structure of data. We are not professionals both in graphics and web design so the result is not perfect. What we know is that we will not spend more time then necessary on smart web features (moving pictures and so on) not to speak of tuning the web for old web browsers.
That is why the web design is conservative.
Let us know and we will try to mend or improve it (if the result is worth the effort). It is better to say us what, why and how to change something then to say that "there is something wrong and it sometimes does work somehow".
The base component is SubVersion system (source code version system, similar to CVS or SourSafe). Every piece of information is in SubVersion database and web content is automatically generated. SubVersion is primarily intended for the authors. Users do not need to install SubVersion client.
Web server is Apache running on Linux.
Web pages are based on HTML4 and CSS2. They are not optimised for any particular browser and we hope that we avoided successfully all important bugs of widely used browsers. Try for example Mozilla browser.
