Hi AJ,
Earlier in the year we chatted with Josh Andler about how the current website works and what a Drupal redesign/migration might look like. We suggested Drupal since that is what we specialize in
... if the community is willing, we'd love to get started soon.
That's great news! I am a mere newcomer to this mailing list (but a longtime basic user of inkscape) - thanks very much for the offer of time and work. After carefully reading through Aleksander's post (which was a great read, and I want to read more from him..) I have been thoroughly convinced that the current website is a confusing jumble of links with little organisation, so your offer to redo things should/could improve both the website exp'erience and enhance the look and appeal of inkscape as a project.
I particularly like the separation of roles: User and Dev - no comments there, I agree with all of that, and I think the separation would be a big improvement. I'm not too sure about the playground area though, there is kind of a grey area but I think there is too much overlap between the three areas (user, dev, playgroud) to try and mark each thing clearly.
e.g.: Where do nightly builds go? they could go in any of the three areas, but strictly and according to the reasons behind the separation, nightly builds should go in playground, but I think it's actually more important to keep downloads together for ease of access.
Thanks again! Craig
