Hey guys

I just got a report about some links at the main site

everything on the "about" part of the site is linking to the old docs,
some to the really old docs.

how do you think we should go about this?

Hi:

I found It's a bit complicate than I originally expect.

I'd like to draw them (all docs in "about" folder) out(of the
www.turbogears.org) to the docs site, thus people could edit these docs
more easily. How do you think?

Well, this stuff is more marketing, that "documentation" so I think it
should be written with that in mind. I think that's why they aren't
already in the wiki.

Given the update of the Wiki look and feel, we could move them into
the wiki, and make them editable only by editors -- just like final
doc pages...

If that makes them easier to maintain I'm up for it. But I think we
should take a couple of days to think about it and make sure that it's
the right thing to do...

The XHTML is not that hard to edit... The reason I haven't been keen
on moving those pages to the wiki is that they can be made to look a
lot nicer on the site... But they really are in need of updating, so
whatever gets the job done.

As Mark points out, though, these are marketing pages. The quality of
the writing in there is especially important.

yes indeed and since that is available on the svn there is no problem,
the only disadvantage I see is that any change on the wiki will be
reflected dirrectly while in order to redeploy the html Lee will have
to update the live copy.

yes indeed but better to have updated ugly marketing pages :)

in either way I wasn't suggesting to move them over but it may be a good idea.

We actually have redundancy on that count now: Alberto, Lee, Mike
Steinfeld, Elvelind and I all have access to update the site.

So, if folks want to help out with updating this, svn access to
marketing site can be arranged.
