So Ricardo and I came up with a preliminary web site (with Ricardo
doing
all the cute things, logo and design), which Mark deployed overnight:
Excellent!

Looks very nice, I really like the "reinterpretations" of
GNU.
So do I! I did not notice it on the first few items, then found it
obvious on a following one, and went back :)
I am not really happy about reusing the ikiwiki git repo for the
website. If you don't mind I would like to make it into its own git
repo so the wiki and website (I assume web.gnu.tools will replace
www.gnu.tools later this week).
Every technical solution will be fine with me. Once done, I would be
interested in getting write access and add GNU MPC with a link to its
web page to the list of projects.

- “Wondering what this is? Here are the highlights:” sounds odd. It
comes out of nowhere and I’m left wondering where the “highlights” are
derived from. Since all of the items there are backronyms of “GNU”, I
wonder if we could instead state something to the effect of “What GNU
means to us”.

- There is no mention of processes. The term “Governance” seems
very
formal, yet other than the social contract and the code of conduct
there is no statement on the means by which the project is governed,
e.g. whether we decide things by consensus (or with the consent of
all/most assembly members). Is this something we should have at this
point?
This is tricky, and I have the impression it got us stuck previously. I think
it is important to exist and to advertise this page first, and if possible
start working on governance.
- ’some of us even know what “CVS” means’ — while I appreciate this
little nod to GNU infrastructure, I think this sentence fragment
disrupts the flow.
GNU not having the reputation of being the most up-to-date project, I would
also drop any hints to CVS. Maybe add "some of us even know what a pull
request is"? Hm, I do not know whether this is true :)
Thanks for all involved in making this happen!
