Website: inkscape.org/conservancy
Hi all, Today I discovered this page: http://inkscape.org/conservancy/
I think it needs updating or should be archived/deleted?
Somewhere it should say that we are a member of the conservancy (I couldn't find it in any case) and we should have a link to the conservancy's website too. Could be something really simple, like a one-line sentence on this page here: http://staging.inkscape.org/en/about/
What are your thoughts?
regards, Johan

Wow, I remember that! It's verbose, I'm guessing Bryce wrote it ;-)

Either that or even something in the small print at the bottom of the page. I don't have strong feelings either way, but I do feel like we should mention our association somewhere so that people know.

If it's verbose it must be mine. :-)
I suppose there's a few salvagable sentences but it's mostly far out of date and need of overhaul.

Agreed, that's probably sufficient. I think if I wasn't on the board I'd probably want to know more details about what we do and how to contact us. It might also be valuable to have our voting process publically documented somewhere, but we can take care of that next time we do a vote.
Anyway, +1 for dropping the page in favor of something simple for now. If anyone wants to write up a replacement to explain to the public who we are, go for it; I'll be happy to copyedit and offer ideas.

I started to work on this last year but never got very far with it.

I have added a couple of sentences to the About page. I agree we need to describe our organizational structure somewhere including a copy of our agreement with SFC.

Let's see if I can't come up with something in the next week or two.
