There seems to be no link to these forums from the main page of the site, perhaps you should add one, so that non-geeks can find the forums!
BTW thanks heaps for a great resource!!! |

Welcome to the forum!
There is a menu bar in the blue space under "FSI Language Courses" on every page which has a link to the forum. Edited by gdfellows - 22 August 2006 at 4:49am |

Ah, I see what has happened, on my screen using Firefox I have the fonts set quite large, as a result the menu was overlapping the white section below and so invisible! Could you reset one of the colours so that they are not both white to cover such users? I am pretty experienced on the web, writing HTML since 1995, but I found your homepage quite disorienting ;-)

I do need to overhaul the page, but I've been spending my time digitizing courses. It was a quick-and-dirty way to get course links up. I've been working on a site in ASP.NET, but it is far from ready. All looks fine on my IE screen, but I have not tested on Firefox. |

It's fine in FF when I have the fonts set to "normal" but on my laptop I need them extra big! So, my take is that it is not your most urgent task, but something to do when you have a little time to tinker (it is likely only to affect a few visitors). BTW, multilingualbooks.com seem to be selling these FSI courses, would they also be Public Domain? I ask because perhaps we could buy a copy and then make it available... |

The FSI courses were originally developed by the US Government with tax dollars and therefore cannot be placed under a copyright. The courses published by the government are freely shareable.
Private companies, such as Barrons, MultiLingua, and AudioForum, have taken the government materials and added to, enhanced, or updated them. These materials are under a copyright and may not be shared.
Several forum members have purchased materials from NTIS (http://www.ntis.gov/). |
