Nik,
Go For It!
I think our web-page is lying badly about the activity level in the
project.
A few comments:
* All your suggestions sound great.
* Database driven content is OK, as long as it is not the main page,
currently our cvs-web and search engines work OK in the overall
mirror strategy.
* Other topic for dynamic content: supported hardware.
* Other topic for dynamic content: I would like if cvsweb somehow
could locate all files relevant to a specific commit, I know this
is somewhat difficult but It would be nice anyway.
* Other topic for dynamic content: HTML'ed page with the last 24h
of commit logs, ie: pointers into cvsweb to see the diffs.
* Other topic for dynamic content: A place to keep track of patchsets
up for review, test and comment. Ie: submitter provides patch and
comments and a page is created, linked to from the patchindex and
it is added to the "new or updated" patches. submitter can update
patch as it develops. One way would be to define a convention like:
$HOME/review/$patchname/{README,*}
I would LOVE to see the day when www.freebsd.org would be the first
page I turn to in the morning.
