The best way to get people involved is if we have an integrated presentation of the project. That is, users, developers, marketing, documentation, web mastering, translation, whatever. Right now, the developers sit in their own corner, and users think, "These people can't even be bothered to present relevant information in the main web site; they don't want me." The marketing people sit in another corner, and apparently their marketing strategy is "make the marketing site look as much unlike anything else in the project as possible". And, well, all the other people don't sit anywhere, because the main site understands itself as a portal, and there is no obvious way that other groups can integrate. Check out www.debian.org or www.freebsd.org to see what I mean. Everything is there at one glance, everything looks the same, everyone is invited everywhere. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net
