What surprises me in this discussion is how everybody jumps in and
suggests tools and for methods for automatic content creation and
management, but I have yet to see the first word on what the content
for www.gimp.org. Maybe I missed that discussion? If so, could you
point me to the appropriate thread in the mailing list archive?
If I look at the current site, I can hardly find anything that
warrants dynamic creation of HTML. There is a way to leaf through the
site (the arrows left and right in the thermometer), but that is
about it.
Maybe a discussion on what content is needed for the site should come
first, and only then the definition of how we are going to implement
it.
Comments?
