Egcs Web Pages (Maintainer)

[Gerald Pfeifer <pfeifer at dbai dot tuwien dot ac dot at>]

Dear EGCS Developers,

this is to introduce myself as the ``new'' web pages maintainer and
to apologize that I have not been more active during those three weeks
since I assumed maintainership.

For personal reasons -- among others, I essantially had to fill out two
full-time positions during that period -- I was practically blocked from
doing real work on egcs, and I will be basically offline next week, but
then I expect to have significantly more time available.

Here a short list, of what I expect to be me first projects:
 
 o Take some load away from Jeff.

 o Improve the FAQ. Move away obsolete entries to a separate page.

 o Improve appearance (colors? News items probably should become more
   central again;...)

 o Introduce navigation.

 o Make some stuff (page footers) more automatic, yet easy to use.

   I.e., all/most of these changes should not require any additional
   skills for contributors, most of that should be performed ``behind
   the scenes''.

We (i.e., Marc Lehmann and myself) agreed that probably the best
way to handle that (and more ;-) ) is to use some macro processing
tools and I have suggested to employ MetaHTML.

More later, hints welcome...

Gerald
