Re: Revamped GNOME.org

[Hugh Buzacott <hugh buzacott gmail com>]

The w.g.o homepage has a small bit of _javascript_ but other than that there is not much other (java)scripting on most of the pages (with a few notable execeptions).
I am just fiddling around with adding some content at the moment (eg. top icon set/theme at 
art.gnome.org, top story at gnomedesktop.org, etc.)

This is why I would suggest we had a couple of small boxes on the front
page with the latest headlines from footnotes, the latest art from
art.gnome.org or the latest software updates. This would help to give the
site a sense of community and activity. However, this raises a very
important point, as it will be difficult (although not impossible) to do
this without any scripting on w.g.o.

What is the current sysadmin position with regards to the use of scripts
on w.g.o?
