I have some more specific comments. There=E2=80=99s some informal wording that I dislike; for instance, I would: - remove =E2=80=9CWe need skilled people=E2=80=9D - change =E2=80=9CKnow the system...=E2=80=9D to =E2=80=9CDiscover GuixSD= =E2=80=9D - change =E2=80=9CSome screenshots...=E2=80=9D to =E2=80=9CScreenshots=E2= =80=9D - change =E2=80=9CWe have some news...=E2=80=9D to =E2=80=9CNews=E2=80=9D - change =E2=80=9CGet in touch...=E2=80=9D to =E2=80=9CContact=E2=80=9D (= ?) - change =E2=80=9CThe devs are working hard...=E2=80=9D to =E2=80=9CLates= t Development News=E2=80=9D. I would rather not have a Web interface to connect to the IRC channel. The technical audience we=E2=80=99re targeting may know how to do that anyw= ay. Regarding the section at the bottom, I wonder whether/how it could be implemented in practice. For instance, we=E2=80=99re not going to move to GitHub just for that, and I=E2=80=99d rather not call out to openhub.com or similar to get stats. Yet, I=E2=80=99m not sure the cgit/gitweb instances = at Savannah provide a JSON API to extract this kind of data. What are your thoughts on this? Maybe the answer is that we=E2=80=99ll have to work with the Savannah hacke= rs to add whatever service provides such an API to Savannah, and in the meantime live without that section. One thing we need to decide is whether we keep the GuixSD web site separate from gnu.org/s/guix. I tend to think that it should be separate (we can ask for guixsd.gnu.org), with the Guix web page mostly unchanged, but I=E2=80=99m slightly concerned about overlap and the risk of bitrot. WDYT? How can we make progress from here? Would you be able to do the CSS/HTML implementation of the web site? What else is needed? Thank you! Ludo=E2=80=99.
