There’s some informal wording that I dislike; for instance, I would: - remove “We need skilled people” - change “Know the system...” to “Discover GuixSD” - change “Some screenshots...” to “Screenshots” - change “We have some news...” to “News” - change “Get in touch...” to “Contact” (?) - change “The devs are working hard...” to “Latest Development News”. I would rather not have a Web interface to connect to the IRC channel. The technical audience we’re targeting may know how to do that anyway. Regarding the section at the bottom, I wonder whether/how it could be implemented in practice. For instance, we’re not going to move to GitHub just for that, and I’d rather not call out to openhub.com or similar to get stats. Yet, I’m not sure the cgit/gitweb instances at Savannah provide a JSON API to extract this kind of data. What are your thoughts on this? Maybe the answer is that we’ll have to work with the Savannah hackers to add whatever service provides such an API to Savannah, and in the meantime live without that section. One thing we need to decide is whether we keep the GuixSD web site separate from gnu.org/s/guix. I tend to think that it should be separate (we can ask for guixsd.gnu.org), with the Guix web page mostly unchanged, but I’m slightly concerned about overlap and the risk of bitrot. WDYT? How can we make progress from here? Would you be able to do the CSS/HTML implementation of the web site? What else is needed? Thank you! Ludo’.
