I would have thought to do a more complete website than just an 1-page with
some links.

At least something with :
- a demo of OwnCloud like Aamir suggested
- a presentation of the project (the history, the vision, the goals, ...)
- how to install/use it (maybe with a link to some Userbase articles that
still need to be created as Michael told)
- some explanations about how to contribute

In fact the last items are the ones we already have in the wiki
(introduction, use owncloud, get involved). The idea will be to present them
in a more user-friendly way.

We can add many more things of course ! A integrated CMS to provide some
news would be very valuable too for example.
But as the project is quite "young", the goal is to attract some new
contributors to make it grow and I think that the previous items are the
more important ones with that idea in mind.

Since there is Florian who also want to help with the website, I think this
is manageable.

Tell me what you think too.

Damien
