I do believe that the official website is by far the biggest channel of promoting FreeBSD that we currently have, and as such, I believe that any discussion about replacing, improving or in any other way change it clearly qualifies as FreeBSD advocacy related. And, if I understood it correctly, he was not requesting an immediate change to the webpage. He stepped up and announced a *will* to change it, and was asking for feedback and thoughts. When the community, ie advocacy@, approves of his work and agrees on a actual website change, then it would be time to involve the webmasters (they are of course welcome to join the discussion earlier if they so wish). I have been subscribed to this list for a long time, and I cant recall website design as a subject being discussed even once. The design of freebsd.org on the other hand frequently comes up, but I consider that to be as advocacy related as anything else discussed here. I can see that we simply disagree here, but the fact that this discussion pops up every other month clearly shows that there are a lot of people that wants something to happen. Seeing people chasing them off the list everytime is something *I* find tedious. -- R
