Re: Remove old "News" entry from home page

Hi,

I don't really like to join the discussion, because a) I don't like to
tone and b) I don't have time to work on changes or even proposals.

But I'd like to second the general idea by Federico. A website creation
less carved in stone and with easier maintainability is something to aim
at. Any such suggestions should not be flatly refused. Quite the
contrary, changes w.r.t. the website are desperately needed in my
opinion and any constructive discussion about that should be allowed and
supported.

Of course there are many things to consider and of course this has many
constraints. But we should not stop here. A separation of manuals and
website seems like a sensible thing to me as these are also logically
different things (as mentioned: pdf or not, connected with and related
to code and versions etc.). And of course the experience of long term ly
developers is helpful to tell ideas that won't work from good ones.

So please, be friendly and bring together new ideas (innovation) and
experience with proven and reliable workflows. It's not easy and quickly
done, but imho it's worth the efforts.

Cheers,
Joram
