Thanks everyone for your feedback on the updated FreeDOS website. I'm
*almost* there with the updated site, and I'm hoping to put it live in
a few days.

If you'd like to see the work in progress:
https://test.freedos.org/


What's done:

- front page
- Forums
- my page
- my Patreon page
- History
- Trademark
- Impressum
- Books


Not done yet:

- About
- About -> Games
- About -> Applications
- About -> Programming
- Download
- News (need to build a new feed, but that's minor)
- Bugs (also planning a form to enter a bug report to GitLab without a
GitLab account)


I haven't added the "latest version is" text on the front page yet,
but that's on my "to-do" list as well.

I'm incorporating the content from the old Links page into each of the
"About" pages. For example, I'll link to where to download the free
{personal use} Turbo C and Desmet C when you're on the "About ->
Programming" page. By incorporating the links on these pages, my goal
is to eliminate the old Links page entirely.


Also:
I've been planning the new website for many months now, going through
several iterations in design and content organization. I think the
current version is looking really good. However, all designs can be
improved. I'm working with a university professor at MTU and his
Usability class in Spring semester (that's right now) to do a
usability test for the new website.

The Usability students need to have a "frozen" version of the website
to test against, so the site doesn't change while they are testing it.
Once I make the new website live, the students will do their tests
using the https://test.freedos.org/ website. I might make tweaks to
the www site during that time, but not to the test site until the
students are done with their tests (semester ends in early May).
