Been a while, but the bug team needs to get organized and happy again :)
So...

Everyone who is interested should sign up for the bug-squad list[1]-
we're trying to get more organized and distribute important work to more
people.[2] It's very low traffic, so if you're curious, don't be bashful
about lurking :)

*Bug Day! It's been too long. Thursday, 9AMEST-9PMEST[3], just like the
good old days. We're going to try to be more organized than we have been
in the past- going forward, we want GNOME programs to have their own QA
teams, and hopefully we can start down that road on Thursday. So... come
on by, say hello, and read a few bugs.

Anyway, hope to see many new faces and some old ones there-
Luis

Hey,

The teams working on art.gnome.org and the other sites are actually completely separate. aldug and crew saw a need, and filled it quickly. There are various issues with how they've done it, but hey -> at least they've actually done it.

The GNOME websites are reasonably unmaintained at the moment because they've grown so much cruft and mess, and were based on unscalable technology. Steve Fox still keeps them going through sheer bloody-mindedness. He rocks very hard.

So what are we doing? We're throwing them away, and starting again from the ground up. You could compare it to the massive refactoring that was GNOME 2.x... It took a long time, but the results were exceptional.

The best thing you can do to help the new website along right now is to lodge bugs on the website product in bugzilla. Once we're ready to start porting and creating new content, we'll be trawling through the bugs and building everything to satisfy what people want out of it all.

If we don't know what you want, you might not get it.

Thanks.
