The list will be a forum for the development of a new website for kde.org. The 
work has *not* yet started, you missed exactly nothing.

Earlier attempts to renew KDE's websites have been put down by extensive 
bikeshedding [B] so we felt this approach is needed.

If you want to join the list:

	- You will be actively involved with developing the new webpresence
	- You will need to put your money where your mouth is, only lurking to give 
	  input is *not* going to work

The new webteam will consist of people from multiple disciplines, notably:
	- Webdevelopers
	- Designers
	- Usability / Accessibility people
	- Marketing folks
	- Writers
	- People who want to help with moving content over.
	

Work on the new website will start around mid-february if we find enough 
people who want to join. It's a shitload of work, but only discussing it 
won't help (it didn't in the past). If we don't find enough people, we're 
screwed.

You're invited to help, but really only if you actually plan to donate time. 
If you want to help, send an email to kde-www-devel@kde.org.

KDE deserves a better web presence.

to do so. - Douglas Adams
