Hello again devs and user from around and far Thanks for all your enthusiastic response :)
It is the end of the year and this topic might seems as not important, but it is for me personally so I am posting some of the progress on this matter to keep you guys informed. So after some minor discussions, Pelican <http://blog.getpelican.com/> (a static website generator in python) has been chosen as the platform for the development of the new website to be used in tandem with github user pages <https://help.github.com/articles/user-organization-and-project-pages/>. Right now I am in the process of "playing" with the different options and plugins to use with Pelican and adapting the existing content in a pelican friendly format (markdown), which includes the pages in the googlecode site, the blog (in blogger) among others. Many ideas are coming to mind for the new website, but some of the features that will be included are: - A new blog engine (powered by Pelican itself), so blogger would be eventually be discontinued - Search functionality (powered by Tipue Search) - Blog posts comments via Disqus Some other features under consideration are - New documentation in site powered by Sphinx (in order to centralize information in a single place/web) Finally I am drawing inspiration for how the site should look based on "competitor" packages in the Scientific/Development IDE environment which includes: - Matlab <http://nl.mathworks.com/products/matlab/index.html> - Ninja-IDE <http://ninja-ide.org/> - IEP <http://www.iep-project.org/> - R-Studio <http://www.rstudio.com/> Any other sites for similar packages can be used as inspiration, so feel free to comment on any other sites/packages you are aware of. Additional to this effort there are new channels of communication and outreach that hopefully will appeal to a larger user base. These include: - Facebook page <https://www.facebook.com/pages/Spyder-IDE/1575444006019383> - Twitter account <https://twitter.com/Spyder_IDE> - Google+ Page <https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/107193318474220481102/107193318474220481102/posts> - Google+ Community <https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/107193318474220481102/communities/112932801653352854842> - YouTube Channel <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK0uCG7DVzKUAhaw8veitkw> Please subscribe/follow if you feel more comfortable getting updates and information on those channels.
