Topic: Good Driver Update News page!

I have been following this site for quite some time now but never bothered to post it.
Dunno it's been done before, but I think it's worth it simply because it lists any new drivers that came out the previous week.

That way, it's much easier to keep track for Bâshrat the Sneaky than having to follow every single post of us reporting about new versions (not saying you shouldn't continue to do it, though wink).

http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/75509

Unfortunately, it's in German, but driver versions are pretty universal I figure.
If you need any help, I'm willing to translate, or simply bother Google with it big_smile

If any one else knows of similar pages offering the same level of quality, don't hesitate to share!
Since Bash seems to be rather busy ATM I figure it's best if we help each other out in the meantime!

Best regards!

Re: Good Driver Update News page!

New version online!

http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/75798

Since this is weekly updated, I will (unless I forget to) post in here each week.
The problem is, this is like regular news on their page so there isn't an index just for the driver update news unfortunately...

@Bâshrat the Sneaky: Would it be possible to sticky this?
If anyone else knows similar news pages, they are most welcome to post them in here, so we have everything at a glance.

Better than having to manually scout fro updates and post lots of [REQ] threads, IMO smile

Re: Good Driver Update News page!

i think both methods are not the optimum.

although Bâshrat the Sneaky is an norwegian or sth. he could not read any german. some of the driver links link to the german sites, too.

i think we should do a list im php or sth, or a subtopic called "updated" and "required" for every category

Re: Good Driver Update News page!

He's Belgian last time I checked big_smile

Anyway, yes, I'm aware of the fact the site is in German, but as I initially said, you can either translate it via Google (it does not contain any literary texts, just a simplel listing) or I will volunteer to translate any needed passages.

I would much prever an English driver news page for the sake of internationality of this project; unfortunately I do not any such a page sad

I agree that a script would be a good solution.
Maybe it could work somewhat like the wiki.
Only with fixed values so that the devices cannot be altered, however users can change the driver versions and links to the files.
