      Ok, here's what I think about 'web site' issues:

      It should reflect what the "E" project is about - and that's something 
that
has always been an unclear thing even to many 'core' devs here: Is E a 'project'
to create some product like the e17 wm (with the efl only a necessary aside)?
Or is it a community of developers/designers/... working together to create 
something
"more"? Is e17+modules the real E? Or is it ecore, evas, edje, ewl, etk, 
edje-editor,
evolve, ... ? Or maybe it's ...? If the "more", then what is that?

      It should provide links to all relevant/important sub-projects, both 
primary
(possibly hosted there) and secondary ones (somewhere else). All use cases, 
examples,
etc.  It would be great to see things like the libs - evas, edje, ecore, 
esmart, ewl,
etk, ...... have their own sub-sites with stuff pertinent to them. And the same
for apps - e17, entrance, edje-editor, .... that are 'primary' to E. This is a 
lot
of work, but I think certain 'sub-projects' (both apps & libs) could benefit 
from it.

      It should provide links to all main project resources eg. docs(to 
what?)/trac/
wiki/bugs/blogs/theme-sites???. Much of this could be specific to various 
sub-projs,
eg. each lib-or-app might need its own roadmap/goals/themes/docs/wiki/whatnot...


      The thing is, unless "E" has a clear, exciting, challenging vision for 
what
it is, and what it wants to become as a project... it's not going to go far as a
community or as a set of products.
