I am happy to announce that we have redesigned and expanded the Moose
website.
http://moose.perl.org
Currently the site only somewhat expands on what was previously
there,
but with our new multi-page design we should have plenty of room to
grow now. And as with all things Moose, this website is an open
project and we would love for others to help and contribute.
Just wanted to say it looks aesthetic and is much more functional
than the
previous web-site. You may wish to read:

Among the things it says there is that there should be testimonial
quotes.
Feel free to reuse this quote of mine:

(I should note that while I may not have mentioned it on [email protected]
, I
eventually Moosified Test-Run and it's now part of the CPAN release.).
That is a great idea, the initial goal right now was to just get the
new site together and make it easy for people to contribute to it. I
think we have met that goal and I am happy with the results (already
have 10 or 12 commits from others).
The next goals are to try and re-organize the content. I will
certainly take a look at that PDF, from a quick skim it seemed to have
a lot of good advice. Chris Prather was also looking to see if he
could sponsor a GSoC technical writing student to help as well.
The code that builds the site can be found in Git and as always,
patches are very welcome.

The site is static, but is generated dynamically using Template
Toolkit, a YAML file and PO files for internationalization.
Thanks! I may take a look and contribute.
Excellent, check in with sawyer too, he and I were just discussing
this on #moose.
Thanks,
