This is the most important part. There's a significant quantity of new content needed for the website which just hasn'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't created yet; some have been designed but don't have all their content yet.
Agreed completely. As I said on the user list, much of the text on the brand new pages was written by me for the mockups (I'm a terrible copywriter, so there's unfinished Lorem Ipsum and blah blah stuff), and much of the other stuff was brought straight over from the current site - some serious tidying is in order, and will help speed things up significantly.
Why is there commit 50 by Chris Morgan reverting my additions to Lorem Ipsums texts (see column "More stuff" in content/en/about/features.html)?
I could understand that maybe I added more content than I should have, but that doesn't explain why parts were reverted to Lore Ipsum. Also, the style of those epigraphs is too repetitive: all of them prominently display the word "Inkscape"... we already know we're talking about Inkscape! ;) Some of my edits in that area were done to break that monotone writing (giving a more "human" tone and avoid repetition of the word "Inkscape"). I'm unsure is this edit was done on purpose or accidentally.
Sent out another request on the user list for screen recordings...no bites yet. Maybe if someone posted to Deviant Art? Or twitter? Or facebook or flickr or any of those other social websites I don't use... We need the stuff mentioned in this doc: https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1QDTbDv7SGZIyrBUvSoraC_587ROY49l-bVl...
Working on it. Commented this before, but haven't had time to record them. The two drawings that I was going to record are halted.
I'm involved on acourse about web design so will be busy until 23 March.
Regards.
Pajarico,

Sorry; that was definitely accidental. If it had been on purpose it would have had a sane commit message. It seems slipped in due to a manual merge that I made to avoid making a merge commit, but somehow I slipped with that, so then when I was just pushing the basic news app stuff (at Ian's very sensible request - I often work for too long without committing) a couple of other things slipped in. The others don't matter, but that one does. I've reverted the reversion in r63.
