Hi Eric,

I've put up the new website, and have moved some of the content over from
the old website to the new website.  

I've checked the site into the subversion repository, which should allow
us to both work on stuff without stepping on toes (this is my first
time using subversion but so far it's very similar to CVS and pretty
therefore intuitive).  What I did was go into my personal Webware working
dir, and check out the "Home" context into my working directory (which is
confusingly also called 'Home'):

$ cd ~/Home
$ svn co svn://w4py.org/HomePage/Home

Then I added the the context to my Configs/Applications, calling it 'Webware':
    'Webware':       'Home',

I restarted my server, and now I have a personal copy of the new webware
site at w4py.org/~jdhildeb/Home/Webware which I can fiddle with without causing 
trouble on the main site.

After we check in changes, we just need to update the 'webware' user's
working copy.  You should be able to do 'sudo -H -u webware sh' to switch to
the webware user, and then 'svn update; webkit restart'.

I'm thinking that several of the pages on the site can be publically
editable via the Wiki.  For example, I took the old 'consultants' page
(http://webware.sourceforge.net/Consultants.shtml), added it to the
Wiki, and then wrote a small wrapper page which displays the page with
top bar and side menu.  I'm thinking we may want to add several such
pages:
    - modules page to give an overview of all Webware and 3rd-party modules
    - FAQ page (does Webware really not have a FAQ?  I couldn't find one)
    - testimonials and propaganda (these exist in the Wiki already)

One other idea would be to have an RSS feed for the most recent mailing list
topics, but sourceforce doesn't currently provide this feed, so we'd have to
hack it together ourselves.

For the moment though, I think the most important thing is to continue
bringing (relevant) content over from the old website, so that we can
soon have that site redirect to the new site.

peace,
Jason
