Some of these comments and the related issues were relayed to the gimp-web list by scizzo in the thread with the subject "Moving of site proposal". Moving the web site on the 18th was not a good idea because there were still too many broken pages that could not be fixed immediately, so instead it was proposed to move it on Sunday 21th. This did not happen (Yosh said on the following Monday that he had been too busy) and a few additional improvements were done in the meantime, so the site was "officially" declared ready with the message "Status of the new web site" that I posted on Tuesday the 23rd. > > I believe that most or evenall of these > > points have been addressed in the meantime but we should leave it up > > to the web team to decide when they want to move the site. > > Could you please tell us which part of the web team has to say the > word? I don't think that there are any official rules for that (and I doubt that there should be any). However, if there is a consensus among the active members of the web team and/or if the web coordinator (yours truly) says that it is OK, then we can say that the decision has been taken. Both of them happened two weeks ago. So the "official" decision is that the web site should move as soon as possible. There is no need to wait for any additional decisions. As far as I know, the last blocker is that Yosh should find some spare time for moving the site and all user accounts from the old machine to the new one. There are still some things that should be done with the new web site, such as updating the news on the home page or adding links to some files from the gimp and gimp-1-2 CVS modules (INSTALL, Wilber construction kit and others) but this will be much easier to do once the user accounts are moved so that I can set up the corresponding links and scripts on the new box. -Raphaël
