Although I have built high-end web-server farms previously, and then
maintained them as a server engineer, I have done very little actual
website creation (only a couple of blog type photo sites, that kind of
thing) and I don’t have a strong interest in it due my focus on the
systems side of things. Of course I know how to read and code HTML, and
had to do some basic bug-fixing of such during “systems emergencies”
over the years when the web devs were not immediately available in a
crisis. But it’s just that I’ve never got around to doing my own site
for this project yet, always just keeping on pushing out more packages
and more updates with my available time for the good of the user base!

So anyone out there who might see this “bug report” and be reading this
more general discussion who: a) likes and uses and supports this
project; b) wants it to continue; c) has good experience with website
development; and d) would be happy to help with such creation of a good
website, please do contact me! To improve the marketing would make a
distinct difference, but due me being a “one man team” so far and mainly
still always focusing on just doing updates, I’ve never done much on the
marketing as I am explaining.

In terms of team effort, of course putting ALL of the Debian/Ubuntu
packaging from my own build systems on to Github (or similar) would be
necessary. Arch Linux has all their packaging on Github and it is a
simple and workable system as far as I’m concerned, and I refer to their
packaging frequently when their packages are newer or built in what
could be described as a “fuller” or “better” way than the Debian/Ubuntu
equivalents.

Then there would also be full public record of exactly what packaging is
being used to build the binaries, with people (including me) naturally
liking that so everyone knows for sure that nothing untoward, buggy, or
even malicious is being “put into the mix”. This can of course be
confirmed on a package-by-package basis anyhow, by downloading any/all
distinct *.debian.* tarballs such as via the .dsc downloads from the
PPAs, as is required for properly published free and open source
software in all cases (not just Debian/Ubuntu).

So all of these matters have been bouncing around in my consideration
about the project for actually more than two years as a matter of fact!
Meanwhile I’ve just kept on with building and building the whole thing.
Yet it’s all now at a point of maturity in terms of the sum-total of all
available packages and the possibilities of significant cohesive
upgrades across an entire “older” system that it is most certainly time
to progress to the next level, or for it to fade away if I can’t even
get enough income from it to survive!
