All,
We are working on a new web site design. Work is in progress. At
the moment I will share only that the new design looks great.
Please God, just html, PHP and a pinch of js/AJAX. No other funky latest
gee-whiz web-ui stuff.... Here's to praying :)

With your site redesign, I've posted before, regardless of distro, the
archlinux
website does the best job I've ever seen in integrating content, wiki,
forum,
package database, bug tracker and git in a seamless site footprint. The
context
sensitive search (package search, wiki search, etc..) is a really neat
setup.
The package part of the site is clean.
If you are redoing the Trinity site, go visit
www.archlinux.org and type
'kdebase' and look at the auto-search-suggestions, visit the package
database,
choose a package to view, the click "View Changes" in the top-right to
visit the
git interface, then (notice the consistent menubar that remains even when
drilled down into git), click on the wiki menu at the top and type
'Trinity',
and so on. It is well worth a visit for ideas and an example of a good,
clean,
consistent interface across all the modules that make up the site.
Why is it so good? Answer: you do not have to know the site or arch to be
able
to intuitively navigate every module. Try finding a specific patch of the
debian
site if you don't know it -- you get the drift.
If we are doing a new site, let's do it right.
(and replace Foswiki with Mediawiki while we are at it :)
I am willing to do this (the donations over time have allowed sufficient
equipment to be purchased to properly handle a MediaWiki installation).
Do I have any volunteers to migrate all the content over?
