Please define the problem you have with the current CVS setup
and explain how this is fixed with using Subversion. A move just
because you like svn more than cvs doesn't sound right to me. Fwiw.
Hi Joey,
I'm sorry for not pointing them out in my previous message, since the
problems are so obvious that i thought they don't require a detailed
explanation. Fortunately, i think that Joey Hess wrote the most
important to webwml use case scenario, related with merge.

This requires active pages, which until now is not supported since we
depend on static HTML files.
Re modern design and stuff: Please define problems with the current design
and propose improvements. This has been asked all volunteers who wanted
to apply a complete redesign of the web pages. The smaller the changes
the easier they can be applied and the more likely it will be that they
will be accepted.
The problem is that it's quite hard to Joe User help us downloading
testing images from that current page and the mozilla approach seems
to be saner, IMHO. Just ask on debian-user. Btw, I though we wrote a
new installer from scratch and did a lot of useful things and a "we
depend on static HTML files" won't block us to do the right thing
again.
I agree with Frank on solve one problem at a time and I'll try to do
more and talk less, like i did in others areas into the project.
Arguments in favor or against ideas will guide us to nowhere, but
better solutions than I'm proposing will.
