So, I'm getting embarassed by pango.org again. It still says: Status: Pango-1.2 has been released and is available from ftp.gtk.org Even though I've since released 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, and 1.10. Other parts of the site (like the screenshot gallery) are even worse. Currently, the Pango website is XHTML using server-side includes, and is checked into GNOME CVS: http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/pango-we It's reasonably clean, as long as you don't mind editing HTML directly, and there is a auto-checkout, so you just have to check into CVS and it goes live. If I found a volunteer maintainer, I could easily get them a CVS account. But having it as a wiki would make volunteer contributions from a range of people easier. My requirements: - Must be a distinct website, that is "Pango branded" - I don't just want a few pages inside live.gnome.org or something like that. - Must not be ugly. Pango is a project about typography. The site needs to be clean and uncluttered. http://cairographics.org/introduction Is almost OK, though it still has more "Moin" clutter than I'd like, especially the big footer. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ While better in many ways than the cairographics.org site (Moin-1.3 rather than Moin-1.2) is worse in the "ugly" category because of the big intrusive sidebar which is about being a Wiki rather than about the site. - Can't block too much on me for updating :-), that clearly doesn't work. So, if I was going to do it as a Moin instance, it would have to be a *separate* Moin instance from live.gnome.org... not too hard to set up, though would create additional maintenance headaches going forward So, anyways, just wanted throw those out there, and see if there were volunteers to: A) Become site maintainer using the existing infrastructure, update the content to be reasonably recent, and keep on top of it on an ongoing basis. Or: B) Come up with a rocking Moin-1.3 theme that says "Pango" and migrate useful stuff from the existing content (if any) to it. Regards, Owen P.S. - my thoughts on what needs doing to the current content: - Move all the design documents and status reports someplace out of the way; it's historical, not usefu. Some of the info from the design documents would be nice in an appendix to the Pango manual, perhaps. - Update the Gallery section; what I think would be nice would be two pieces - a few screenshots of Pango in use on the desktop and comprehensive samples of scripts handled by Pango. - Update the Download and Resources section. There are quite a few dead or irrelevant (Unifont, say) links under Resources.
