Hi Lars!

- We have software (link to software index)
everything as link/anchor to a section further down the page where we
explain it in more detail but not to extensive, about five to eight
sentences per section should be enough. If there is more to explain
link a subpage, like
https://gnustep.github.io/experience/Theming.html in that section.
We don’t need a myriad of subpages. Keep it as minimal as possible.
I agree that these concept should be present on the site and quickly
accessible - but as explained in other mails - disagree they should all
be direclty on the homepage.
It is bad to define yourself with what you are not! and I disagree
putting it prominently on the homepage. It is a one-click away.
The link you mentioned was added though, since the WINGs acronym is
always cited.
The Software Index is still there but broken - all our dynamic part of
the site is still down, thus both the wikipedia list as well as software
index. We should accelerate on that. Next think to discuss with Ivan and
Fred at his retour, I propose.
I answered that GNUstep already has themes, but when searching
for https://gnustep.github.io/experience/Theming.html I found out
that this page is nowhere linked from the front page, so I knew
it exists but I had to google it. All in all our web presence
(while looking somewhat sleek) is in a kinda sorry state: It
doesn’t get those messages around:
The page (to be updated itself... started work on that) is both
experience and development interesting, so it needs to be linked by both
areas. Did so.
As I said: Our Website is the key to this. This would include to
finally get a SSL-certificate from https://letsencrypt.org/ since the
link https://gnustep.org/ is still not working (just
http://gnustep.org/ ). But who am I to demand things here, I can only
ask friendly … :)
It is on our todo list, Ivan said he would work on it... we shall remind
him of that.
