Panos, your work looks great, and has improved with all the constructive criticism!. Andi's work on the XSLT files for the tutorial and reference pages is really nice, too. We definetly need you to improve and keep the site rocking!.

I specially like the clean look and the logo design :).

And now, the rough points...

At this year's GUADEC there was a BOF meeting to tackle with a whole gnome.org redesign and refactoring driven by the GNOME Foundation and it's aimed to be completed for the next release (not the ongoing one) aound the end of the year.

We need to talk about this as it will probably involve the site design too, wether pygtk.org relates to gnome.org (maybe linking to pygtk.gnome.org?) and some other issues.

Much closer integration of some related sites as pygtk.org and gtkmm was desired, as one of the problems with the current situation is that a lot of information is spread though different sites and their relation with the main project and documentation is not always very clear. This makes building sinergies between them difficult. Also, the use of a SCM was suggested.

As you have proved skills to hack on the web and the XSLT pages, we want your help!. There's a lot of information on http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb and I'm sure you can make it rock. I have been missing for some time and probably won't have a lot of time to follow it all, but I'll try to do my best to help you if you're willing to take some responsibility in this regard and make pygtk move ahead that road.

Besides this issue of how we will do with the gnome website refactoring, there's some more "minor" work pending to do such as: - adding images (and redesign) to the application list entries (probably writing a mail asking for permission to app writers to get their screenshots or take new ones) - redesign the releases page to make it clearer which version to use and how to get it all running for the different environments - add new step-by-step articles in the lines of what Alberto Ruiz, Lawrence Oluyede or Marc Mruss have been doing lately. - The FAQ is hosted in a different server from pygtk.org. Is that ok? should we move it?. - The script used for the GPLv3 discussion, which highlights the most commented and thus confusing parts could be used to add some user feedback to the existing documentation. - somebody with good XSLT skills should have a look at how the pdf versions of the tutorial and reference are generated from sources. Andi? If I recall correctly, someone did some really impressive work to get PDF output for some other gnome documentation, and that work is probably in the desktop-devel-list or in the gtk-devel-list archives. Something in those lines would be amazing.

Regards, and sorry for coming back a bit late with such a disturbing information... anyway, I'm sure your work will be very valuable whatever path is taken.
