to add further, we&#39;re not all good at design and we&#39;re not all good at programming, or writing, that&#39;s why it takes all types of different people in order to make a project work. This is an opportunity for everyone to pitch in!<br>

<blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px">hello, </blockquote><div>It&#39;s been a good long while since I&#39;ve emailed the mailing list I am a part of the server management involving inkscape and have been for approximately 4+ years. I am writing you today for 2 reasons.</div>



<div><ol><li>Our current site is terrible, I&#39;m sorry but there is no chance of just brushing over it. I know there have been a fair number of people in the past 2 years who have submitted website mockup ideas and we&#39;ve had contests but no one has ever followed through. Which I&#39;ll take partial blame for it. Things are just scattered every which way</li>


<li>I wanted to update you on the status of the Test suite, Osuosl is currently in the process of setting up the ability to run test suites so that we can test the SVG building more efficiently. So stay tuned for more info on this in the near future.</li>


</ol>Anyway back to problem 1. Here&#39;s how I think we can best solve this problem. We&#39;re going to break the website into different categories and duties.</div><div><ol><li>UI (mockups) (*ARTIST*/PROGRAMMERS*)</li>

<ul>
<li>Ability to make mockups of how you think the website should look. </li><li>After we pick yours we will request to see the top couple in HTML/CSS</li></ul><li>Artwork for the website (*ARTIST*)</li><ul><li>Ability to develop / sharpen logos as well as various buttons etc as needed</li>


</ul><li>Drupal Modules (*PROGRAMMERS*)</li><ul><li>Skills required</li></ul><ol><ul><li>Knowledge of Mysql/PHP/JS and HTML</li><li>Knowledge or ability to learn how drupal works</li></ul></ol><li>Documentation (*WRITERS*)</li>


<ul><li>Skills</li><ul><li>Moderate knowledge and ability to update and port existing content over to the new site. </li></ul></ul><li>Translation</li></ol><ul><ul><li>We need people who specialize in various languages to port content once completed into the various languages.</li>


</ul></ul>So what&#39;s wrong with the current design? a lot, it&#39;s way too cluttered and disorganized not to mention you click wiki you go to a whole different navigation and sub site. That is just a pain to deal with as a user. So if you have skills in 1 of the above 5 categories, please contact me or the list directly and we&#39;ll assemble the a team and get this going! let me know what you think....</div>


<div>Thanks,</div><div>Ian &quot;Inc&quot; C.</div>
