+<h2>Tasks to do for www.gnu.org</h2>
+
+<p>
+  Here are many possible tasks for improving the GNU web pages.
+  If you would like to help with one of them, please e-mail
+  <a href="mailto:address@hidden";>&lt;address@hidden&gt;</a>
+  BEFORE you do any work on them.
+</p>
+
+<h3 id="accessibility">Accessibility</h3>
+
+<p>
+  Investigate how www.gnu.org could provide better accessibility to
+  all regardless of disability.
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>A good place to start is the
+    <a href="http://www.w3.org/WAI/";>Web Accessibility
+    Initiative (WAI)</a>.</li>
+  <li>Other resources on and off the web could also be checked.</li>
+  <li>People at or near MIT could check with MIT's
+    <a href="http://web.mit.edu/atic/www/";>Adaptive Technology for
+    Information and Computing</a> in person.</li>
+  <li>People who have access to similar centers at other schools,
+    organizations, and companies could check with them.</li>
+  <li>Disabled users of the web could also be interviewed, and perhaps
+    even added to the webmasters team for this task and others.</li>
+  <li>A good online service for testing pages is 
+  <a href="http://webxact.watchfire.com/";>WebXACT</a>.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3 id="scripting">Site Scripting</h3>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Improve the existing ht://dig search facility and/or install
+  additional search facilities for the FSF/GNU web site.</li>
+  <!-- Removed the link to manual-indexing.txt for the "email -->
+  <!-- exchange" below.  The file never existed in the /server -->
+  <!-- directory.  Anyone know where it is, so the link can be -->
+  <!-- fixed? -->
+  <li>Set up manual indexing using the system proposed by Miloslav Nic.
+  See the email exchange for more details on what is to be done.</li>
+  <li>Find a way that the
+  <code>fp:/gd/gnuorg/EventAndTravelInfo/announce-events.plx</code> script
+  can make it so that our <a href="/server/whatsnew.html">What's New</a>
+  page can list new events when they are added.  One simple way to do
+  this is to have it simply email webmasters every time a new event is
+  added, and ask them to add it manually.</li>
+  <li><a name="fun">in directory /fun/ include</a>
+  <ul>
+    <li>cgi-bin scripts that
+    <ul>
+      <li>conduct a dialog with GNU Emacs's doctor.el and
+      convert it into HTML.</li>
+      <li>get a zippyism from GNU Emacs's yow.el and
+      convert it into HTML.</li>
+      <li>feed
+      zippyisms to GNU Emacs's doctor and
+      convert it into HTML.</li>
+    </ul>
+
+    <p>
+      Roland McGrath has done some of this on his <a
+      href="http://www.frob.com/~roland";>home pages</a>. Ask him if you
+      can copy his work over to http://www.gnu.org.
+    </p>
+    </li>
+  </ul>
+  </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3 id="conversions">Format Conversions</h3>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Turn the <a href="/copyleft/gpl-faq.html">GPL FAQ</a> from an HTML
+  document into a canonical XML format, that we can easily generate HTML from.
+  One possibility would be to use DocBook, since it has some tags for handling
+  FAQ lists. (This task is currently awaiting someone to add
+  <code>&lt;qanda&gt;</code> tag support in the DocBook to Texinfo
+  translators.)</li>
+
+  <li>We are looking for people to volunteer to convert documentation
+  from various formats to the
+  <a href="/software/texinfo/texinfo.html">Texinfo</a>
+  format. This is something we need
+  occasionally. We would like to have a list of people we could ask
+  on these occasions. If you want to volunteer, please send mail to
+  <a href="mailto:address@hidden";>&lt;address@hidden&gt;</a>.</li>
+  <li>Rewrite the various philosophy pages and bulletins in
+  <a href="/software/texinfo/texinfo.html">Texinfo</a>
+  and
+  convert to HTML using texi2html.
+  They could then be easily included in:
+  <ul>
+    <li>the <a href="http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/GNUinfo";>/gnu/GNUinfo</a>
+    subdirectory of
+    <a href="http://ftp.gnu.org/";>ftp.gnu.org</a></li>
+    <li>the etc/ subdirectory of the GNU Emacs distribution</li>
+    <li>in the GNU system's Info tree</li>
+    <li>other useful locations.</li>
+  </ul>
+  </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3 id="writing">Writing Web Pages</h3>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Write web pages for GNU programs that lacks web pages on our server or
+  whose web pages are obsolete using our <a
+  href="/software/boilerplate_software.html">software boilerplate</a> as a
+  template. Also read our <a
+  href="/server/standards/README.software.html">software page
+  standards</a>.</li>
+  <li>Work on improving our <a href="/server/sitemap.html">sitemap</a>.
+  <ul>
+    <li>Design a better sitemap that helps people find all places on the
+    website easily.  The sitemap should highlight particularly important
+    parts of sub-pages.  (For example, the philosophy listing on the site
+    map should have under it links to some particularly useful essays on the
+    philosophy page).</li>
+    <li>Come up with several different ways of presenting the sitemap,
+    that consider both the differences in
+    <ul>
+      <li>how people perceive web pages, and</li>
+      <li>how people use the site.</li>
+    </ul>
+    </li>
+    <li>Also, the idea of creating a programatically generated sitemap
+    has been proposed; this would primarily be a tool to aid in
+    writing by hand a more easily navigated sitemap.</li>
+  </ul>
+  </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3 id="graphics">Graphics</h3>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Remove JPEG artifacts
+  from all PNG pictures. You do this by removing "loose" pixels and
+  turning them into 1bpp (in case of black/white drawings).</li>
+  <li>Create new <a href="/graphics/graphics.html">graphics</a>
+  for our web pages. We mostly want to have nicer drawings like the ones
+  we already have and perhaps in more colors.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3 id="valid">Validation and Broken Links</h3>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    Check all the web pages for well formedness, consistency with
+    our HTML style sheet, and webmaster guidelines. All web pages need to be 
valid to
+    their specific DTD, (the <a href="http://validator.w3.org";>W3C
+    Validator</a> is a good place to start).  
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    Help is needed 
+    <a href="/server/standards/README.webmastering.html#poldeadlink">repairing 
+    broken links</a>.  There are numerous 
+    <a 
href="/server/standards/README.webmastering.html#polsymlink">symlinks</a>,
+    so please do not break these in your repair efforts.  Time and
+    care is needed to track down broken links, and in most
+    cases find suitable replacements.  Please ensure that our 
+    <a href="/server/standards/README.webmastering.html#poladdlink">linking</a>
+    <a href="/server/standards/README.webmastering.html#pollinking">policy</a> 
+    is followed in finding replacements.  
+  </li>

+join an existing translation team, or form a new one.  Check the
