Well, criticizing is always a bit easier.. but even if the GNUstep
website is not perfect,
I think everyboy can acknowledge it improved a lot in the last year,
and we can thanks
all the volunteers that worked on it. Things are never *perfect*, we
can only expect
to improve them (particularly as we don't have loads of resources available)
Now, it would probably be a better move to propose new things in order
to improve
the main site, if you think it's not good..

Yes, it's a shame, indeed. Sadly there is very few people working on gsweb, so..

I'm not sure this statement is completely fair -- guess it depens how
you define "real effort"...
It seems to me that a few persons try to improve things. Sure, not
many, but still..
And things improved.

Ok, back on-topic... a CMS, why not, but that's quite some work I
guess, to set it up, etc. I'm not sure it's worth it compared to the
current website, but hey, if somebody is volunteer, go on ! :)
Probably, a working application database would be more important.
And installing a planet to gather blogs would be a good idea, and
probably not too much work, as ready to use softwares for that seems
to exist. can be wrong though.
Anyway, I think it's easy to propose things, but in the end, it's the
people that *do* it that actually improve things.. personally I know I
don't have extra time to work on the website, so, well.. thanks to
thoses that do.
