In the first phase user login won&#39;t be being implemented and that login dropdown will be being removed.  In the second or third phase (depending on the precise ordering that I get to things) there will start to be things that can be done when logged in, and so user accounts will be set up. What is in that box at the moment was purely prototypical; the actual django auth apps to be used are not set up.  When we get to that step it will be very straightforward (just installing one app, tweaking the main template a bit and adding one more), but there didn&#39;t seem to me to be any point in setting up the database yet when nothing uses it.<br>

content writers to go through the site and improve on the existing write ups.<br></blockquote><div>This is the most important part.  There&#39;s a significant quantity of new content needed for the website which just hasn&#39;t existed before.  I think the main thing we need is just lots of basic content which can be refined later.  Most of the pages aren&#39;t created yet; some have been designed but don&#39;t have all their content yet.<br>

<br>About &gt; Overview: we&#39;ll need the video, but the content&#39;s about done<br>About &gt; Features: need some more content<br>About &gt; FAQ: ignore what&#39;s on this page at present; it&#39;s just a port of the content from the wiki.  We want more useful stuff here.<br>
About &gt; Testimonials: need some testimonials!  Even as simple as <a href="http://twitter.com/ryannorris/status/45172362475339776">http://twitter.com/ryannorris/status/45172362475339776</a> - &quot;Uh, Inkscape is incredibly cool.&quot;<br>

Additional old news needs to be ported over. We ported over all of 2010 and 2011 but we need all news ported over<br></blockquote><div>This includes the non-English news.  The news format I&#39;ve adopted is fairly easy to follow; reStructuredText with HTTP-request-like headers at the top for title, author, date and category.  Look in the news directory to see how it&#39;s used.  The translation status news items with tables are going to be the most complex, I&#39;ll put in one of them to show how I think it should be done.<br>

<div>There are some parts which can already be translated, especially the contents of the .po files (which I need to update).  Content translation will of necessity need to happen after the content is finished.<br><br><br>
All up, the project <i>is</i> going well and is almost ready for initial deployment after some more optimisations, testing (functionality and stress), a couple more features in news - and content.  Please help with content!<br>
