Hi,
While working on translation of inkscape.org into RU, I noticed several things I'd be pleased to have feedback on.
1. Documentation page. 1.1. It has a "Translations" section which is not quite related to docs. Should we introduce a separate "Translations" or "i18n" page with information on status of supported languages and basic info for new translators? 1.2. Publications (Overviews). Those brochures are nice, but _very_outdated (0.39). Could we "hire" some artist to give them a new life? 1.3. Example SVG Files. This is not related to docs as well. Maybe we should introduce a basic PR page for SVG?
2. Showcase page. Very outdated. Latest entry dates back to 2005. Don't we have something newer to show people? ;-)
3. Status page. Latest Project Status: 15, November 2005. That speaks for itself.
Any comments?

www.openclipart.org (the whole site :)
OCAL.o could have a category for inkscape example/demos, that way we can host and cross-post :)

Generally, we should link more to our wiki pages some of which are much more up-to-date (and likely to stay that way).

I'd say just link to http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Translation_information
1.2. Publications (Overviews). Those brochures are nice, but _very_outdated (0.39). Could we "hire" some artist to give them a new life?
Just relink to http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ArticlesAndPresentations
1.3. Example SVG Files. This is not related to docs as well. Maybe we should introduce a basic PR page for SVG?
Could perhaps be removed
- Showcase page. Very outdated. Latest entry dates back to 2005.

Remove that page and link instead to http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Galleries

Either remove or resurrect and make updates fully automatical.

Typo, I'm sure bulia must have meant relink or redirect not remove. Old pages have value, and broken links aren't good.

+ I really would like to see on the website some specials showcase for professional uses of inkscape as scribus does in its success stories or blender.
On course this part should be more managed that a simple wiki.

http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Success_stories looks quite managed :)
Should we probably just reuse their approach?
I guess Andy Fitzsimon has something to list and SilverOrange studio might have something. I will contact Steven on this.
