[CREATE] Fwd: Re: [LGF-LGA] Ok, let's start with a website

[Camille Bissuel]

Ok, well done Cyrille and Louis, you convinced me.
I though it was easier to start from the ground, and that I wasn't allowed
to modify existing tools (I don't know why, maybe because I'm new in the
place).

I do agree too than we need to build on existing tools, and that Gnome
foundation is the best way to handle money today.
Despite that, an association may be still interesting for branding, to say
to peoples : yes, we do exist as a "moral entity" and we are organized.

Can we restructure the http://create.freedesktop.org/ website main page to
add more content and some visual improvements ?

   - News (planet for projects and gallery - actual planet + one more for
   gallery -)
   - Projects (Presentations for Software and tools, Standards, Events,
   Teaching certification)
   - Peoples (Developers, Professional Artists, Teachers, Users)
   - Resources (Directory for Documentation, How-tos, Tutorials, Glossary,
   Gallery)
   - About (association ?, website)

Do we forget about libre-graphics.org, simply redirecting to Create ?
Can I submit some sketch, to who (this mailing ?) ?
Can I have some admin access to this main page to start working on it ?
Why is there content like this unrelated
one<http://www.outflux.net/blog/archives/2010/08/12/cryptprotect-broken/>,
or the Boudewijn's holidays on the Create planet today, a mistake?
Alexandre, do you agree to move some of your contents, like the FAQs for the
main application or your software web links, on the same website to make
things more coherent ?

How can we work on this together ?

Please, let me know.
