Re: new web site



/* Start the "trying to be nice" section */
Eitan - I'll start with a little preface - I think you did a great job, and
I have all the appreciation in the world for your work. I just disagree with
the concept.
/* end the "trying to be nice" section */


Excuse me for saying this - but this site has the same problem as the
previous one. It is not grahpical enough. And yes - I KNOW we like
simplicity. And yes - I know we love command line too. And yes, I use vi
myself to add users and change their information.

BUT - This is just making people who come to the site confirm what they
think of linux - that's it a gray, text-based operating system, for weird
people with no lives.

If we want to attract the masses (and we WANT to attract the masses - isn't
that what all the "war" with microsoft is about?!) we need to make it
graphically appealing. Look at linuxberg - see how beautifull the graphics
is. YES - I know - we don't have the same graphics people -but I am sure we
can make something much more reasonable, much more colorfull, in a short
time. put some graphisc, put some penguins...

Our site - 2-3 years ago, was much more live than this one... We are going
down, instead of up, hiding under that phony cloack of "simplicity".
Computers develop and become more complex - so should we.

That's my 2 cents...
