Let me rephrase my previous reply to this message: any change to the 
organization at the top-level cascades through the site and leads to huge 
numbers of changes. Since we don't have much of an idea who the site is 
*for*, it's hard to make it useful for anyone. Some sites like 
developer.kde.org or pim.kde.org have a much more focused and clear \
audience  and those are easier to organize as well.

There's sporadic efforts to figure out who the site is for. They tend to \
get  bogged down.

Anyway, as an exercise you might try to figure out what needs to be done \
with  the link "Getting involved". Front page material? Perhaps it should \
go  straight to quality.kde.org? If so, what about "Open Jobs" -- are they 
maintained? Any other information it presents that should be on q.k.o? Is \
the  lxr link useful (assuming it works -- lxr.k.o times out for me right \
now).

For what it's worth, http://kde.englishbreakfastnetwork.org/ is a web \
mirror  of the KDE site. It uses Marcos Fources' media-renew branch to put \
a modern  CSS-based site with the same content up. That same site can be \
used for  various bits of experimentation. In the past we've had some \
limited success  with trying to do reorganizations in a branch and merging \
constantly; that  was to get a new look mostly. We could do the same here.
