I did not find any of these todo items in the issue tracker. Maybe I used
the wrong query.
Sorry if my email appeared like a complaint but I was attempting to provide
constructive feedback to make the site more appealing and in par with
comparable opensource projects. Thats the reason I mentioned the exact
issues with the current site.
I can help ... though I am not a web site design expert. I know HTML, CSS
and basic javascript.
A more easier way for community participation might be to start an
initiative for redesign ... identify the plan, divide it into smaller work
items, create issues to track these items and part times like myself can
probably own a few small work items that play are role in the bigger
redesign project. I hope this approach is being followed even in the V3
project features aswell and maybe for documentation too.
thanks,
_raju
