Today webSPELL.org introduces a new feature to optimize our support efforts and to improve our demonstration page for potential new users.

Registered user can now manage their websites in a new profile section called My Websites. You are able to mark your sites to be shown publicly in your profile, where others are able then to leave comments and rate the website.

All enlisted webSPELL websites can then farther be connected to a support request in our forums (mandatory from now on for certain boards). Furthermore we will select certain websites to be presented as live demo websites on our demo page.

In the past, missing links to websites related to the support requests slowed down our support efforts, we hope this new feature will help us speeding up our support. It also presents a great opportunity for webSPELL webmaster: websites approved by our team will get published on the demo page and will bring you a lot of new visitors.

You have a well done website? Get started right away and get your page ranked*.

We are excited to see your websites and hope you'll enjoy our new feature.

________________
* Ranked websites are websites which are based on webSPELL and approved by our team. You can find a list with all ranked pages here: webSPELL Site-Ranking

After over 4 years there is a major change in the webSPELL project. Since the beginning of the development in april 2005 webSPELL was a private project under the lead of blue.tiger, this is going to change now.

In march this year most of the members of the webSPELL attended a meeting (we reported about this in our blog) and we founded the society webSPELL. Since 07.07.2009 this society is incorporated at the county court Waiblingen (Germany) and will further carry the name webSPELL e.V.

The purpose of this incorporated society is to mantain, administer and support the webSPELL project and its webpage. The further development of the content management system and the support for our numerous users will be in the centre of our efforts. Currently the incorporated society consists of 8 members (as of 02.09.09, 21:00), most of them members of the webSPELL team. The executive council, consisting of Stefan 'k3rmit' Giesecke (executive director), Daniel 'TwisteD' Steih (2nd chairman) and Florian 'blue.tiger' Siegmund (1st chairman), will lead the further actions of the webSPELL e.V.

With immediate effect the incorporated society webSPELL e.V. will be responsible for the complete webSPELL project.

With this step we do not only want to improve regarding legal and economic aspects, but also - in accordance with the spirit of open source - open us even more to the users and fans of the webSPELL project. Everyone can apply for a membership in the incorporated society and influence the further evolution of webSPELL. Interested parties should have a look at our membership application (currently only available in german language, we will supply a english version soon) and our constitution.

We will henceforth publish further information and decisions of the incorporated society webSPELL e.V.
