2003-10-07 Vincent Untz <vincent@vuntz.net> * index.html: put the dates in dd/mm/yyyy format instead of two or three different formats. * .htaccess: added so we can redirect people from the old pages to the new ones. I'd like to have a htaccess file which is moved to .htaccess when copying the website (so it is not hidden in CVS), but that'll be for later * membership-form.html: removed (we now use membership-form.php) * press.html * press/*: removed these because we now point to press releases on gnome.org. * advisory_board.html * board_of_directors-2000.html * board_of_directors-2001.html * board_of_directors.html * charter.html * directory.html * documentation.html * executive_director.html * faq-ln7.html * faq.html * index.html * membership-list.html * membership-policy.html * membership.html * organization.html * template.html: updated the links to the elections pages, and added the Fundraising links when it was missing. * announcement.html * ballot-summary-2000.html * election-2000.html * electionresults.html * electionrules-2000.html * final-vote-archive.diff * final_membership_list.txt * list-addresses.py * overview_2000.html * vote-counter.py * voters-2000.html: removed. Those files are now in elections/2000/ (some have been renamed) * ballot-summary-2001.html * election-2001.html * electionrules-2001.html * voters-2001.html * elections/2001-eligible-members.txt * elections/2001-prelim-results.txt * elections/2001-vote-archive.diff * elections/list-addresses.py * elections/verify.html * elections/vote-counter.py: removed. Those files are now in elections/2001/ (some have been renamed) * ballot-summary.html * electionrules.html * elections.html * overview.html * voters.html: removed. Those files are now in elections/2002/ (some have been renamed) * elections/index.html * elections/2000/* * elections/2001/* * elections/2002/candidates.html * elections/2002/overview.html * elections/2002/rules.html * elections/2002/voters.html: new files. Most of them are copies of old files with some modifications (because of the change of directory and updated title).
