(NOTE: DeCal is a student-run organization that is on vacation for the winter break. You can still e-mail us, but don’t expect a reply for a while.)

But in the meantime, we’ve upgraded the website to be less ugly and dropped support for 800 pixel-wide screen resolutions because our site stats suggest most of you are using modern computers. We’ve also streamlined a lot of the navigation to help you find what you’re looking for, and to make it easier for us to update the website.

Here’s the full changelog:

• Site is now less ugly.
• Added flickr photostream on the front page.
• Added stats on the front page – we estimate the “capacity for students” by adding together all the class size numbers the facilitators give us (though if they leave the field blank, we assume a fairly conservative class size of 15)
• Added dropdown menus on the navigation bar.
• The “class location” for each course is now a Google Maps link. It usually works pretty well.
• Fixed some bugs with filtering for courses… though there are still some other bugs that are difficult to resolve. Some combinations of filters will result in some incorrect displays. It’s a bit worrisome, but I’d say it works well for the most part as long as you’re careful.

Still left to do:

• Fix page styles for all the facilitator control panel pages
• Streamline the admin control panels on our end
• Improve the “Favorite Courses” feature
• Fill out the other two FAQs
