Table 1. - Current Status (06/28/2025)

ItemDescriptionIssues
Page Host Hosting works as expected, e.g., handles messages between Explorer pages.
  • Recent files and bookmarks views have not yet been implemented.
  • Activity light no longer works
Track Explorers Functionally complete, no known bugs Firefox reloads to current page. Chrome reloads to site home page.
Viewer Functionally complete, no known bugs Needs content with specialized page lists and that has not been implemented yet so operation is quirky
Track Summary pages Functionally complete, some need text updates and section marks None
Stories
  • Rust story needs text trimming for simplicity
  • C++ story is complete for now
  • No stories yet for C#, Python, WebDev, SWDev, or Basics
Rust story has two styles for displaying code.
Bites
  • Rust bites are still being ported from old site
  • C++ bites are complete for now
  • C# bites have been started, need more
  • Python bites need library bite
  • No bites yet for WebDev or SWDev
  • Basics bites are complete for now, more planned
None
Repositories
  • Rust Repo page is relatively complete but needs updated code and documentation links
  • C++ Repo page is incomplete, needs citations for many more existing github repositories. Also needs updated code and documentation links.
  • Currently, only three C# repositories are available on GitHub. The C# Repo Page has correct code and doc links.
  • Python, WebDev, SWDev, and Basics have placeholder pages, but no repositories.
  • Many code repositories on github have only placeholder documentation.
  • The old site provided doc pages for that, but this NewSite will put the documentation exclusively in each github repository.
Help pages
  • Help pages for VS Code, Rust Cargo, CMake, DotNet, Git, powershell, RegEx, ChatGPT, and SiteNav are complete.
  • Help page for github is a placeholder awaiting contents
  • Help pages are needed for MSBuild and Compiler Explorer
None
Blogs
  • Only two blogs deployed now.
  • Plan to provide blogs:
    • Performance comparisons of Rust, C++, C#, and Python
    • W3C Web Components, as used in this Site
    • Port some blogs from my SU site.

ItemDescriptionIssues

Stories
  • Add Python story (low priority)
  • Add WebDev story using this Site design as an example
  • No SWDev story - haven't decided what to put here
Rust story has two styles for displaying code.
Bites
  • Rust bites are still being ported from old site
  • C++ bites are complete for now
  • C# bites have been started, need more
  • Python bites need library bite
  • No bites yet for WebDev or SWDev
