The new site looks good although, as you say, it is still a bit rough
around the edges. I would say that we go with it.
Could I suggest that the first thing that needs doing is a good spring
clean: there are numerous spelling mistakes and chunks of very old
content that needs excising or at least being brought up to date.
Nothing gives the impression of a moribund project more than things like
"*Update July 14, 2009:* Feature freeze for 1.3 is (finally) just around
the corner! Expect an announcement soon!" at the top of the "About" page.
I'm happy to help with this

All,
In late 2010 John Locke offered to host our website. He's a user of
LedgerSMB and has contributed numerous bugreports and fixes. His main
business is developing, hosting and maintaining Drupal websites. Our
feeling is that with a better website we can do a lot better as a
community: both by offering our information in a much more accessible
format (see the FAQ page below) as well as in a format which fits the
expectations of the contemporary web user.
Over the past months I've tried to contact Joshua Drake from Command
Prompt to upgrade the existing hosting and help to install the
required modules to get a decent site up. Unfortunately, there has
been little response so far. I recognize the value of the hosting
provided by Command Prompt until now and would like to thank them for
their contributions. It seems it's not their priority to improve
LedgerSMB's webpresence at this time though. Of course one can't
expect any volunteers to do more than they offer themselves, so that's
fine.
It is however the reason why I've contacted John this weekend to take
him up on the offer. We spent quite a bit of time to find a good theme
and John succeeded at copying over most of the FAQ items. The result
is this site http://ledgersmb.freelock.com/ which is admittedly still
rough around the edges but a big improvement over the current site.
Sure, there's a lot of room for improvement, but it's a start and we
can work on it.
John and I would like to continu down this road and switch the DNS
from the old site to the one presented above. What do others think? Do
you agree it's a good idea?
Thanks for your comments.
Erik.
