Just FYI, I think it would make more sense if this discussed the redesign in
this ML.

Here's a summary of what's been discussed so far:

This is the current mock up by Jesse (feel free to comment on it):
 http://jesseross.com/clients/gnustep/site/02.png

Menus/Pages will be arranged in the following manner (+ my
opinions/comments):
- Home Page
 +- Most recent news
 +- Search
 +- Screenshot with link to Screenshot Page
 +- Upcomming Events
 +- How to Contribute (I added this one as I think it's extremely important)
- Get Started
 +- Overview
 +- Download
 +- Installation Procedure
 +- Tutorials/Documentation
- Documentation
 +- Links to Wiki
 +- I think on this one we can actually use the current Documentation page
but organize a little better
- News
 +- Developer Blogs (I'm still not sure I like this, I'm a little anti-blog)
 +- CIA.vc commits (and get rid of Status page)
 +- Planet (I have no idea what this is)
- Status
 +- I think we should move this to News page
- Applications
 +- List + screenshots of known Apps
- Support
 +- Mailing Lists
 +- Bug Reports
 +- Donations
 +- How to Contribute (yes, have this here too)

Adam pointed out that we will need to contact Manuel Guesdon (
[EMAIL PROTECTED]) as well as [EMAIL PROTECTED] (their website is in
French, do we need a French speaking person to make contact) for information
on the available software.  We can probably do this while we're deciding
what is needed, and also by someone that understands about web site
design/programming.

All interested parties will probably need write access to the site, but I
think we should make a decision about this later (lets get the ball rolling
first).

Over all, I think we should try to keep the content brief and to the point.
The current website seems to throw too much at you.  Also, we need to keep
in mind all the GNUstep components (I'm assuming everything in GNUstep's SVN
is part of it):
Libraries:
 - Core Libraries
 - GDL2
 - GSWeb
 - JIGS
 - RIGS
 - Guile Bridge
 - GSLDAP
 - Renaissance
 - Performance
 - libObjC
 - SimpleWebKit
 - StepTalk
 - SMBKit
 - SQLClient
 - WebServer
Tools:
 - Nib2GModel (is this still working)
 - PBXBuild
 - Make (part of Core)
Applications:
 - Gorm
 - ProjectCenter
 - GWorkspace (hosted at http://www.gnustep.it/enrico/gworkspace/, we can
probably move it into the main site)
 - SystemPreferences (ditto to GW)
 - EasyDiff (hosted at http://www.collaboration-world.com/easydiff/, ditto
as above)
 - Thematic (is anyone even working on this?)
I think I covered everything.
