I have created a CVS branch called new_download in the english folder
of the CVS repo to work on this.
In that branch, I have created a "download" folder under the "english"
folder with a Makefile and index.wml
I'm attaching the index.wml in its current state to this email for
people to be able to review it without checking out the whole branch.
It still needs work in the last 3 steps (verify, write to usb, write
to cd).
For what I have read, you can checkout, update and work in the branch
just adding "-r new_download" to your cvs commands.
I'll go on working on this, and try to reuse the wording of the
current pages, inserting comments to translators, so when the page is
complete, translations are easy to do.
When more or less the text is ready, I'll try to get -l10n-english and
-designers in the loop for improving the page, and I'll go on working
on the subsequent pages (same strategy: get the text trying to reuse
from the current pages, etc).
Finally, if we agree to put in production this, we should need to
* change the homepage so the "Download Debian" button points to this,
* probably remove paragraphs or whole pages under /CD or /distrib, or
rewrite them
* get the corresponding redirects in Apache where needed (if we remove
some pages, redirect to the new ones, etc).
Please let me know your ideas or if I'm understanding or doing
something wrong (or it can be improved in some way).
Cheers
