Yes, I agree. Some cleanup would be beneficial. Also, I totally agree with the points below. > * About the foundation - this duplicates some of the info on the other > pages and can to some extent be merged with the first page > * Blog - this could be considered as of our news story that Allan > mentioned in his last e-mail > https://mail.gnome.org/archives/marketing-list/2011-June/msg00044.html If we do want to have news on the Foundation page, I would suggest having a feed from the Foundation Blog rather than creating YANS (Yet Another News Source). > * Reports - not foundation specific, but actually more of a project-wide > thing > * Membership - pretty ok These are mostly guidelines for people who want to become a member. It might help if the page were labeled accordingly. We might want also want to consider expanding the members list into a more generic 'GNOME People' page. This is something I've been thinking about recently. I've created some mockups to show what I mean [1, 2]. > * Election - Wiki material? > * Legal - part of a bigger legal page perhaps? Rewriting this page has been on my to do list for a while... one day, maybe. :) > * Finance - Wow, this is really outdated. > * Contact - merge into http://www.gnome.org/contact/ ? > * Press - we already link to that elsewhere > * Donate - same as above. We could actually promote that on the > gnome.org frontpage. That gets a lot more views.
