Hi, I just added a new set of web pages and replaced the main page hurd.html with a new version (this is the only page I replaced, all other pages areeee left intact, they just can't be accessed anymore). This is an attempt to get the web pages more focussed and a bit more up to date. This was long overdue. It also makes me a bit more happy to work on the web pages, and update them more frequently. Like, adding a News section and fill it with content regularly. This is not meant to be a power trip or something. I hope the people at web-hurd are not annoyed by this move, and I am very sorry if I stumped on anybodys feets. I don't know what your status is. I read a bit in the web-hurd archive, but I didn't see any progress recently, so I assume that this move does not conflict with any short term goal you might have. It just happens that RMS asked me to do a status update on the web site, because a lot of people ask what the status is, and so I took a look at the web pages a few hours ago, and found them to be quite a mess (like, the colors and menu are not the same on all pages, and the content is not well organized and focussed). So I decided to give it a go and rush out a small update which turned out to result in a renewal. I changed the layout a bit (remove all this black). I tried to get rid of table usage, but as we have so much content, there is no way around a top level menu, so I left the table in. However, I put the footer below the table. I did not spent too much time on the layout stuff, but at least it is consistent now and hopefully not annoying to anyone. Content-wise, I started from scratch and considered for each piece we have in the site if it should be included or not. I was quite conservative, and dropped a lot of stuff. I felt that too much noise is linked in, and too little useful information that sticks to the point and is relevant to somebody who is new and just looking at the page. So I took the large scissor and cut everything that didn't fit. Notably everything about microkernels went away, but it will come back soon. As I said, rolling back is easy, but I would prefer to go on from here. Let me know what you think about it. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
