Evening All, With all due respect to the suspended projects and their owners/leaders/contributors, I agree.
To the new visitor to the site, I would have thought the latest news is PXE being updated a year ago, not ver. 3 of Bering uClibc being released last month. If you look in the Announcements section on the right side, pxeinstall update, release of pxeinstall, Bering flying high....? A four year old story is in the top three of the announcements? pxeinstall updated is the only one that's relevant in that it was updated in August of 2006 but doesn't show on the front page announcement. Shouldn't the actual announcement of Bering uClibc 3.0 being released be the top one? I would think new and potential new users would find this easier to get relevant information if Bering uClibc was moved to the forefront since that's where the energy is being expended. I think a redesign of the site is in order to highlight the active project(s). I would propose the links along the top be ordered something like this: Home (instead of LEAF...or at least LEAF-Home), Bering uClibc, Historical / Archived (or something similar), Developers Then, move the various suspended/archived projects under the Historical link with a tree under that page leading to the various projects. I would then update the announcements section to highlight what's actually been happening the past six months, not what happened in 2003 and 2002. These are just my observations as a user and promoter, not intending to wee wee in anyone's cornflakes. :-) Thanks, Tony KP Kirchdoerfer wrote: > Hi; > > while doing some maintenance on the LEAF Bering-uClibc website, I've looked > into the other pages announcing other works under the LEAF umbrella: > Bering, Oxygen, Lince and Wisp Disk. > > I know Bering has been more or less officially stopped - at least J.
