Ok, I'll check that out either tonight or in the morning. I've been away 
from email for the last couple of days, and I'm going away again on 
Saturday, so I might be a bit erratic. Apologies in advance!

I'm going to shortly revert the eZ publish install to use the default 
(mildly unattractive) skin rather than my hackish attempt at the current 
wgo front page. It has a login/register function at the top right. 
Though creating a user ID only allows you to use functions like forums 
etc. by default, it does not give you any privileges in the 
administration interface unless you get "promoted" by an administrator 
user (which means moving your user account from the "Guest Users" bit to 
the "Administrators" or perhaps "Editors" bit).

The admin bit for this is http://admin.wgo.mgdm.net. If anyone wants to 
play with that, give me a shout off-list or on IRC (I'm mgdm in 
#marketing) and I'll give you the password.

If you want, I can host an eZ publish install and answer any questions 
about it, or failing that refer them to the folk who write it. I'm not 
wanting to be seen to be shoving it at anyone, but I do like it and 
think it suits this project. I'll still be happy to help the 
web/marketing teams no matter what software is used in the end.

I was also going to set up a Planet install along the lines of 
http://planet.gnome.org/news/ and add some categories to it like I was 
discussing on the http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/NewsGateway page. Is it 
possible to acquire the templates from CVS?

On this note, I've started a wiki page for discussion on this subject. 
At the moment it's got an overview of the stuff I've found, but I'll be 
gradually adding to it as I think of more things.

I thought that.

Though I'm not a graphic designer I can do HTML/CSS etc and I like to 
think I have a reasonably good grasp of English :)

Ok. I'll check out the news sources one first and see what I can come up 
with. If nobody else takes the contact/feedback/support one as well I 
can look into it afterwards.

Ok.

I'm new here, but I'd be willing to help out. I was going to suggest 
that I can help move the project pages or perhaps some of dgo to their 
new homes, but I'm not sure I know enough about what should go where, so 
if anyone has a suggestion for what this newbie can do to help, let me know!
