I advocate changes, you disagree with me, and then you list a lot of points that should be changed? Im having difficulties with your logic here. :)
I'm not against the changes, of course. I'm not "against" a separate freebsd.com site either. But I disagree that there are no valid arguments against the site split. Changing the one combined site would be both possible and preferable.
All of your points are valid, there are so many things that would improve FreeBSD's image with just a little tweaking. However, everytime I've tried to suggest even the slightest change to freebsd.org, people has started to kick and scream and preach about the end of the OS as we know it. Therefor I have abandoned every hope of ever make freebsd.org evolve, and instead joined the advocates of a user-friendly freebsd.com website.
Personally, Im backing out of this discussion now. I would love to see something happen, but there is a limit to how much resistance and stubbornes a man can take. Everytime this kind of discussion has come up, I've tried my best to support any attempts of actually making something happen, but the incredible amount of resistance we always meet has made me question if its worth it. Until core or atleast a group of committers *make* something happen, I doubt anything will change.
If you go ahead and try to change freebsd.org, I wish you the best of luck. The brickwall you are about to bang youre head against is very hard. ;)
You may be right about that - or maybe the freebsd community will proof you wrong this time :-) ...Either way, I think there is to much talk and to much focus on the surface, cosmetic stuff. The hard work is in producing and collecting the content for the "freebsd.com" site - not in linking to it from a professional looking front page. That we can do, whichever TLD suffix (or alternative domain name for that matter!) it will use.
