A few ideas that distilled from your response:
* Yes, it's nice to see Henrik and Cameron (and Robert of course) putting
some effort into the
website.
If anyone has time, would it be possible to make a kind of new-comer
introduction page, with all the relevant info grouped into a short faq.
there could be explained how to submit patches/bugs etc.
All this info is available in the normal faq/source-forge faq etc, but it's
amid so many other things it's not clear what is in use and what not.
* would it be hard to link to patches and buglists directly from the new
homepage?
* Do the patch posts also post to the list automatically?
* Could we keep a list of who volunteered for what (i.e. Henrik and Cameron
for the
website, Nuno for testing etc) and their email-addresses so we know who is
coordinating what.
* What happened to the Mac debuggers?
