I am going put some time into improving the Village Telco website. It could use the help. In preparation for that, I'd like to ask you all a question:
What's your favourite Open Source project website in terms of content, navigation, and functionality?
Rather that figure it all out from scratch, I'd rather borrow the design from someone who has done it well. As the Spanish proverb goes, "well stolen is half done" :-)
Howdy, I would pick www.python.org. It is not perfect, but it seems to work well and I can find what I need pretty quickly. They don't use javascript, or if they use javascript, then it works fine without it. It is easy to read with color choices that offer lots of contrast. Good day, Ralph

Just realized that current site does not have "Printable" button for posts. It seems a small issue, but greatly disappoints when you want to print some lengthy post to take it read offline and you can't print it nicely because of all that nifty sidebars. My small addition to a good-website-wishlist.
