2022-04-03Meta: Move screenshots into subdirJelle Raaijmakers
It's a bit neater to give them their own directory instead of jamming them in between our shell scripts :^)
2022-04-02Meta: Completely overhaul the READMEkleines Filmröllchen
The README was getting a bit outdated in places, and it didn't have its priorities straight (libc uwu, also we have browser no big deal). These changes are largely based on what was discussed among major contributors and maintainers, though I put in some extra stuff I'm bothered by. The start of README is unchanged. The project blurb is probably its best part, both then and now, so it definitely stays. The FAQ is moved up under the About section because it's easier to find that way and makes more sense logically. The Features section is a highly compressed version of the previous several features sections. Priorities are a big focus here: List what matters to a reader, what they will likely care about, what's impressive to them and what's probably not. The list therefore starts with the factual basics about the Kernel followed directly by Browser+LibJS, the probably biggest userland feat in this project. Then, we pedal back and talk about OS basics, like security, POSIX, services, libraries, devtools. We finish out by addressing the end user concerns (customization, UI apps, multimedia & file format support), which includes a bunch of things previously underrepresented. I think it's rather important that Serenity has a unified style and UX philosophy, so this should definitely be mentioned :^) At the end, I think it's very important to state the NIH philosophy, but also the fact that there are more than two hundred (!) ports. Documentation section is slightly expanded to mention the Documentation folder which doesn't really appear anywhere in the previous version. Build instructions include a simple mention of the fact that Serenity runs on almost anything. It's good to not scare off Windows users :^)) (self-deprecating humour overload) The Get in Touch section and the issues section are combined into one "how do i talk to u help" section that contains the same information but includes a general link to CONTRIBUTING. The Contributors section is now one big list of 100+ commit people. Also, the GitHub contributor list is linked, as that lists over 30 additional people IIRC + detailed statistics.

2021-10-05Everywhere: Change from http to https where feasibleBen Wiederhake
I used "git grep -FIn http://" to find all occurrences, and looked at each one. If an occurrence was really just a link, and if a https version exists, and if our Browser can access it at least as well as the http version, then I changed the occurrence to https. I'm happy to report that I didn't run into a single site where Browser can't deal with the https version.

2021-08-24Userland: Remove IRC ClientAndreas Kling
The IRC Client application made some sense while our main communication hub was an IRC channel. Now that we've moved on, IRC is just a random protocol with no particular relevance to this project. This also has the benefit of removing one major client of the single- process Web::InProcessWebView class.

2021-05-05Documentation: Update FAQ a bit and move it into Documentation/Andreas Kling
This was hiding on the serenityos.org website previously, where not many people found it. Let's put it in a more natural location, and also make sure to link to it from the README.

2021-04-25Services: Rename ProtocolServer to RequestServerDexesTTP
The current ProtocolServer was really only used for requests, and with the recent introduction of the WebSocket service, long-lasting connections with another server are not part of it. To better reflect this, this commit renames it to RequestServer. This commit also changes the existing 'protocol' portal to 'request', the existing 'protocol' user and group to 'request', and most mentions of the 'download' aspect of the request to 'request' when relevant, to make everything consistent across the system. Note that LibProtocol still exists as-is, but the more generic Client class and the more specific Download class have both been renamed to a more accurate RequestClient and Request to match the new names. This commit only change names, not behaviors.
