That would be for geeqie source code.
Not the (google-) visible (self-)presentation.
How about dropping as much sf links as possible from the index page?
I attached an updated geeqie.org/index.html.
Re-arranged a bit,
only kept the direct link to the lists.sf subscribe page,
dropped all other sf links,
added two ML archive links,
and re-worded to be more "proud" and self-confident.
It has been eight years since the fork from GQview,
that should not be the one distinct point to make.
Rather, (cl)aim to be the best image viewer.
Sometimes it's not enough to be good.
Sometimes people need to also notice it.
Feel free to use it, or massage it some more. Or not.
;-)
As long as geeqie.org points to sf,
we should not complain about sf not losing karma.
Cheers,
Lars Ellenberg

and actively being developed by a number of contributors,
with upcoming maintenance release v1.2.3 and feature release 1.3.
both expected in March 2016.</p>
<p>
However, there is a big mess with the old project pages at SF.
Even though we still use their mailing list infrastructure for now,
the canonical Geeqie project information, Geeqie help and
documentation, relevant links and other things of interest for
Geeqie users, contributors and developers is, or will be, here.</p>
<h1>Main features</h1>
<ul>
<li><A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exif";>EXIF</A>,
<A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPTC";>IPTC</A>
and <A
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Metadata_Platform";>XMP</A>
metadata browsing and editing</li>
<li>interoperability, easy integration with other software</li>
<li>geeqie works on files and directories, there is no need to
import images</li>
<li>fast preview for many <A

<li>tools for image comparison, sorting and managing photo

</ul>
<h2>Want to contribute?</h2>
<ul>
<li>We are looking for translators and documentation writers.</li>
<li>Obviously this project page could do with some fancy webdesign,
screenshots, documentation and testimonials.</li>

<h3>History</h3>
<p>Back in 2008, Geeqie has been forked from the GQview
project, because it was not possible to contact the GQview author and
only maintainer.</p>
<p>Geeqie has quickly integrated existing patches, and keeps moving
the development forward.</p>
<p>We had this project on SF for a long time, then moved to
Gitosis when SF decided to bundle malware with downloads.</p>
<p>After the closing of Gitosis we moved to this place here, to have a
stable address for the project. However, there are still many links to
the old locations out there.</p>
<p>There used to be some links to Source Forge here.
Those are unmaintained, and anyone who might be able
to actually still maintain them is no longer responsive.</p>
