Unless you make your living cranking out HTML, you probably have about a million other things you ought to be doing. Still, in this age of sound bites and glitzy packaging, it's difficult to be noticed amid the overwhelming clutter of the WWW without putting effort into the appeal of your presentation. It is an unusual web-monkey, indeed, who will browse content which lacks concessions to visual stimulation. Net-Fu is a system which automagically generates eye-catching logos which can lend your web page that special something that HTML header directives lack. It removes the burden of artistic talent and frees you to focus your concentration on what's really important: the informative content of your page. You simply select a style of logo from among such choices as "neon", "chrome", and "crystal", specify parameters such as text string, typeface, size, and colors, and Net-Fu returns your logo without further ado. This Version: (971022) ------------- NOT for the faint of heart or the inexperienced hacker. There are few concessions to ease installation. This thing is not fun to install. Anyone who decides to attempt installing net-fu should record the problems encountered and the solutions. All help in terms of reorganizing things for easier installation will be quite welcome. Also, I'm looking for improvements to the standard issue net-fu html pages. I think they're a bit vanilla and could use some spiffy polishing. Anyone who is interested in maintaining net-fu should contact me. I'd like to have it set up permanently on gimp.org and maintained in a cvs repository. A Wishlist: ----------- *) Permanent gimp.org locale *) Globally available CVS repository *) Better html pages *) More net-fu scripts *) Better Java interface
