Re: [gNewSense-users] I want to help improve the website

[christophe . jarry]

Hi Luis,

First, i'd like to thank you for the great themes, wallpapers and  
icons you made and which anyone can see at  
http://wiki.gnewsense.org/ArtworkPlan/Propose.

For what you propose, i agree that the side bar should directly point  
to categories as you wrote, plus:
- a "contribute" section which would concern artwork, translations,  
doc writing and programming,
- a "download" link to isos and torrents,
- and links to other languages (as it is now).

I think this would be clearer for newcomers than what it is now.

Moreover, as you pointed out, i agree the website theme should reflect  
the one in gNewSense system. As i said above, i like what you've done  
and think it would be great to update the gNS skin your way.

For the W3C thing, i think it's linked to PmWiki, i would be great to  
have a valid page, but the theme and sidebar changes seem more  
important to me.
