*sigh*. Sorry amilcar, but this is just ... wrong. Really, you might like your 
CMS but it is a royal pain to work with. There is just no point in wasting any 
more time on it. I will continue to work on the Drupal page, as far as I can 
see it it's nearly done. Only the template needs to be ported, which I'll 
continue to do now.

While a wiki is nice and good for some things, a real website is imo much 
better marketing wise. It looks official and is all found easily from one 
place.

I'll continue to use the Wiki for HowTos, Release Schedules etc. but stuff 
like feature comparison, FAQ, etc. should be integrated into the website.

Bullshit.

You should try to think on how to change the old website to make it clear it 
only contains legacy content, and on how to link to the new page soon. Also it 
would be good if you can tell me who owns the kdevelop.org domain. If it's 
you, please think about moving the domain to the kollide.net server 
eventually. Maybe move the existing website to something like 
legacy.kdevelop.org

Bye
