Web pages update

nomadicus · 2003-01-30, 19:40

Now that I've got a couple of LL's and TF's under my belt, I am taking a second and "new" look at the mersenne.org and primenet pages. For example, the poaching discussion makes a lot more sense since I now can read the status page and understand it. I'm sure I'll understand more as time goes on.

I'm not trying to be too nit picky, but we should update some of the information on the webpages. One I just found is
http://mersenne.org/ips/#peak "*Note: Only primality test results are eligible for the Million Digit 38th Mersenne Prime Discovery Contest prize." Make this reflect the 10,000,000 digit prime contest?
Overall, these webpages are great! :D

While we're nit-picking....... One thing I noticed with the Primenet pages was that a link to the manual testing pages was only listed at the top if you were in "News and Information". I suppose it's not a problem if you know how to get there, but I guess it's best that that gets fixed.

I think updates were one of the things discussed in the Replacing Entropia's primenet server Thread

Assuming the new server isn't online within the next few days, these are minor changes that will help prevent confusion for the newbies (afterall, we aren't looking for the 38th mersenne prime anymore, etc., etc.).
