new website draft 8: almost giving up

[Graham Percival]

Hi folks.
http://lilypond.org/~graham/

Most of the people who have been working on the website, including
me, are fed up with it.  I'm ready to shovel this out the door
just to get rid of it... not particularly the best frame of mind
to be introducing a major change to our users' experience, but
hey, that's life in open-source projects!  If you feel at all
enthusiastic about the new website, please consider helping.

Note that translators will hopefully begin working on the site in
two or three weeks, so the window of possible changes is
diminishing.  I mean, it would be pretty rude to change stuff
right after they translated it.

Downloads, Manuals, and part of Community are still waiting on
underlying doc improvements before they can be finalized.  But
there's still a lot of work that *could* be done to improve the
website.


Make sure you check out the alternate CSS style #2.  This has
fancy gradient-shaded menu bars, which could be a great hit.  It's
/much/ easier to see which item you have selected.  If you like
it, make sure you let us know, so that it can be added to the
default layout.

Cheers,
- Graham
