Sounds good. Probably mention that 4.2 will be piecemeal, so we will be releasing EtoileFoundation Real Soon Now (i.e. as soon as you're ready), and then other bits shortly after. > We don't really support thhe 0.4.1 release currently and it isn't documented > in its INSTALL which LLVM version it requires.

I think it works with LLVM 2.7, but there are a number of ObjC bugs in clang for that release, so compiling the system with that LLVM is a bit painful. > Another thing I'd like to have is a "sticker" telling clearly that Étoilé is > a development environment and not a desktop environment currently.

I expect the Étoilé link at the top of the page to take me back to the front page, and I'm surprised when it doesn't. > What should do about the screenshots which gives a false impression that > there is a full desktop environment you can download?

Probably add some notes, maybe remove them because ProjectManager now looks quite different to those old screenshots. > I'm also in favor of removing the Camaelon mention on the main page.

No one has touched /stable for ages, so let's just delete it. > Can I remove all 0.4.1 download links and install documentation on the > Downloads page? Or do we want to keep at least a link for the record (like > our release history)? Keep a link and say UNSUPPORTED!!!1111eleventyone in big letters after it. > Any other comments or things to suggest? The open projects page is quite out-of-date now. Maybe we could update some things related to bringing the ObjectMerging branch into trunk (what's still to do?) What is the progress of making the Doc Generator output pretty docs for the core frameworks? It would be good to have all of that stuff on the web site.
