Hi, I'm always a bit scared when I see the banner with pictures on [1]. Hehe. The graphic part desperately needs help, pictures make most of the impression on users and guests. I'm not a graphics guy otherwise I would offer my help. :)

We alreeady get too many criticisms for not delivering promises that we never really made. And I personnally think that LO will be bitten in the ass with the web and mobile announcement, everybody expect that it will be available next year. So I had rather kept the news section of the calligra website for thing that exists, and have developers use blog to speak about what they are doing. > > Other than that, I don't think that the website is too developer > > oriented.
