Revision as of 14:09, 27 December 2010
laussy.org is the domain name of our web site (where you happen to be right now, if you're not doing something funny).
This web space is maintained, developed, cherished and hazarded upon in various forms by Elena del Valle (who, being Spanish, has many other names that refer to her) and Fabrice Laussy (who, being French, makes this type of comment).
We are hapilly married and scientists (condensed matter physicists), with an interest in all things. But this page is not to tell you about us. See here or there for that.
This page is to tell about the website itself. And here it comes:

Technology
Our web is powered by MediaWiki and since 31 October (2010) is completely so, that is, also our blogs are handled by the wiki. We were previously using WordPress (you can still access our old blogs) but we decided this was not the best thing to do. The reasons why are explained here. We call LaussyWiki the wiki part, which consists of the software itself and its patches (to suit our needs) along with the content, i.e., the database and the uploaded files.
Skins
The look is pretty stable but changes occasionally. Here is how it looked before:
The first skin, in pure php, featuring the Iguazu falls.
We liked this theme a lot and kept it for three years, through various engines (here a wiki).
Amber color theme to celebrate the birth of Ambre Laussy.

The falls decorating the headers of our pages are the famous Iguazu falls on the border between Brazil and Argentina. We visited the site for three days in August 2007.
The Garganta do Diabo—where a cliff opens suddenly in a river the size of the Amazon—is the most impressive natural sight we have witnessed to date.
Ambre
On 31 October (2010), we added a piece of amber in celebration of the birth of Ambre Laussy, our niece, born on the 29th of this month.
Saint-Petersburg
