Hi folks,
Here is my personal TODO list for our very beautiful WineHQ site.
Big Items --------- 1. Integrate Bugzilla into the site 2. Integrate AppDB into the site 3. Integrate the guids into the site
Jer, silly question: Bugzilla and AppDB seem to already be written with the 'boxed' approach. I haven't looked at the code, but any fundamental reason we can't simply stick the main Bugzilla or AppDB main box into WineHQ?
Medium Items ------------ 4. The Who's Who page is terribly out of date. Also, the organization with VIPs/Core/etc. sucks IMO. The page should include only the active developers, the rest should go into an Acknowledgements page.
5. Speaking of which, we're missing an Acknowledgements page. This should include significant contributors, significant corporate sponsors, funding sources.
6. The Download pages don't feel like. They should refer to the HowTo rather than duplicate the information. Also the Download/Sources is too skinny, needs more meat.
7. The HowTo needs improvements. There's a lot more stuff that we need to add to it.
8. We're missing a History page, that would put everything in context and a nice narative.
Small Items ----------- 9. The Contributing page is too heavy, needs better integration with the new Fun Projects/Winelib/Janitorial pages.
10. The Sending Patches needs a bit more work. The .cvsrc link is wrong, maybe a bit more info on how to configure various email clients to not mangle patches, make it more clear that only uniffied diff is acceptable, show an example .cvsrc, how to email a patch (ChangeLog, one patch/per message, etc). Stuff we've been discussing for so long. Tony, I know you've been doing work in this area, maybe you can look into it?
11. TODO/Fun Projects/Janitorial/Winelib pages need constant updating from my site. I'll do that.
12. The Status/UI Status page still needs some work. Help wanted.
13. Get rid of the Miscellaneous section from Status/Core Status.
14. The Search box is too low, one needs to scroll to get to it, even in high resolutions.
Any other requests? BTW, why aren't WineHQ CVS commits visible on wine-cvs anymore?

I can make bugzilla, and the AppDB look just like the main site. That's fairly easy. But, I don't think I would mirror the complete WineHQ nav on those sites (as they are seperate sites). A back to WineHQ link, thats it.
Bugzilla is in Perl, my Theme code would not work at all. Also, I think I'd like to commit both of those sites to CVS as well in the future. The AppDB needs to be stripped of some CW specific code fist. Bugzilla REALLY needs to be updated the the lastest version again.
This is all low priority to me right now. My time to work on the site is 100% used up. I will review and install patches, but thats about it for the foreseeable future.
