ČAV website is up and running again

The ČAV website is up and running again, although not yet 100 percent. There is an explanation at http://www.c-a-v.com/news.php:

"After the hacker attack on Panacom's servers, our website is recovering slowly, definitely slower than we would like. The reason is mainly that no one has taken proper care of it since the beginning of 2007. Now it is necessary to reconstruct practically the entire website and ensure its adequate security. The mistake was that we chose a non-standard character set at the beginning windows-1250, ktorá už nie je podporovaná novšími verziami redakčného systému – tie už vyžadujú štandardné kódovanie UTF-8. Prekódovanie zároveň odhalilo celý rad ďalších nedostatkov, ktoré bude potrebné odstrániť. V súčasnosti by mal byť systém v poriadku, avšak v mnohých článkoch nie sú viditeľné obrázky a objavujú sa aj nefunkčné odkazy.

Preto prosíme našich čitateľov ešte o chvíľu trpezlivosti. Na rekonštrukcii stránok okrem hlavného správcu pracuje aj ich pôvodný autor (OK1RR) a Ing. Soldát from Panacom. However, the web is very extensive and it will be necessary to check and possibly correct not only all articles, but also the databases that are part of them. At the same time, the pages will be supplemented with some new functions and not only the search, but also the visibility for Internet search engines will be improved. However, the reconstruction will require time in the order of weeks.

Currently, we are still unable to estimate when the ČAV website will be fully functional. However, there is no point in reporting possible deficiencies to the administrator - we know about all of them and are working on their elimination."
