Thank you so much for your initiative !
We definitely need a new website for kde.org today.
It should better reflect all the changes that had happened in the both
the Workspace and the community in general.

The kde.org website can be seen as an entry point for anyone interested
or just curious about the KDE project.

Therefore we should have a nice website, with up-to-date information
about the last release, the upcoming events, or the activity in the
community.

Maybe we should target kde.org first and build a realistic schedule to
quickly reach a 1.0 version ?

I totally agree with the idea, it's just that even if we are volunteers
today, no one can predict how busy we will be in the future :)

=> What should we do now ?
=> Should we meet on IRC or start a discussion on the forum ?

Thanks !
