It would be great if you could look into heading it up. I'm basically
extremely short on time these days, and sadly, the GNOME website loses
out in my priorities.

There are a couple of things that need doing: Take the layout mockups I
made, and turn them into a design. I've done work on this, I can tar
that up and make it available. It's not completely polished yet, but
I've basically done two mockups, one for table layout and one for CSS
layout.

When that's turned into HTML, that in turn needs to become PHP
templates. And when that's done, it should be put in a new module in
CVS, and content should be migrated.


About the trove system, I don't have a specific opinion. Is Trove in
PHP? If so, it'll be easy to integrate, if it's something else, it's a
bit more work, I suppose.

But it would be fine with me to get the software map replaced. It
basically sucks a lot right now. Ideally, we should look at getting the
old content migrated, though.
