I've been thinking a lot about the wiki, the website and KTechLab's publicity in general, and I would like to offer myself to develop the website. Mot of my thinking came after reading this blog entry from Aaron Seigo, about project communication and the part it plays in keeping a project alive. [0]
I have already sent an e-mail to Lawrence about this, because since he had been put in charge of that, I didn't want to go over him, but that e-mail was sent on Sept 6th and I never got a reply, so I'm assuming he must be very busy and not able to work on the website. I really think all the great work you guys are doing with the code needs to be showed as the proof that the project is moving on, as it would also help to get more developers and users. Also, I think the website shouldn't try to be more than it has to. It should be there to give a general but as well complete impression/idea of what the software does and all of it's potential, and also provide a good environment for the development of a user community, since that is something I feel is missing. I have actually found in a local electronics dedicated site a sub-forum dedicated to KTechLab. The "oficial" forum is there, but the word about it hasn't been spread, which also happens with the IRC channel, point here exposed by Alan. So, as the discussion once took place about people in favor and against forums, I think the forum should be oriented mostly to users, and the mailing list for developers. If things work out well, we could think of creating more mailing lists for different needs. I can't promise a fully redesigned website in two hours, but I will dedicate all the time I can to have it working. Either this proposal is accepted or not, I'll start working on some concept and make an image with it so I have something to show you.
