Hi, I’ve been assigned as a shepherd and was talking a look at your web site and noticed a couple of minor things you might want to do something about before graduation. Of course I don’t know much about the history of this project and these may already been looked into or already being dealt with somewhere, so apologies if I bring up anything that is known or anything that I’m mistaken about.
Looking at the website I think it could do with a little more branding [1] and make it clearer that this is an incubating site.[2] There seems to be two websites which may be adding to the confusion here [3][4]. I notice [4] is better re branding/disclaimer etc etc but [3] comes up a google search first. The download link on [5] is not using the mirror scripts [6]. The download page here [7] includes a binary that is hosted outside of apache [8][10] Perhaps a redirect from the old site to the new is in order as that would fix most of the above? I also noticed an unanswered question re releases that your mentors could help with [9], but it seems (from what I can see from brief look) you only have one currently active mentor. Is this correct? Idk so do you think you may need to add an additional mentors or prompt existing mentors to see if they still have time to mentor?
