I'd be happy to help with the web site. It's not perfectly clear to me what else it needs, but I have some ideas. In a nutshell, 'Home' should include 'user' related general stuff (all the stuff it has, plus using FOP, upgrading, running, etc.--all the content from Version 0.94). The Develop should contain all that it has, plus any 'FOP Trunk' specific stuff. I don't what that is ATM... on first glance the nav for 'Version 0.94' and 'FOP Trunk' are identical nav (except V-0.94 has Release Notes, Changes & Known Issues). I imagine a good start would be to remove all tabs except for 'Home' and 'Development' - 'Version 0.93' just goes away - 'Version Trunk' content moves to 'Home' - I think 'FOP 0.94' just goes away. I don't see anything different between the nav links in the 'FOP Trunk' and 'Version 0.94' tabs--if there is, that content should move to 'Development'. I'll run `diff` on the fop/0.94/ and fop/trunk/ directories to see what's different. If anyone has an specific ideas on what's different, that'd help greatly. We could retain the 'Home', 'Version xxx', 'FOP Trunk', 'Development' tab structure, but I think less tabs may be better now that we've retired 'Version 0.20.5', during which time, I believe the multiple tab structure was necessary. Of course, there's likely to be content updates, as well as minor nav changes needed (Changes, Release Notes, Known Issues), but that should already be in 'FOP Trunk' content. If anyone else has ideas, I'm open to them. > I was also thinking about making this a beta release.
